When starting from another machine, make sure the machines do not touch. This prevents sparks near the battery, which could ignite the hydrogen gas given off by the battery, causing the battery to explode.Electrolyte is an acid and can cause personal injury if it contacts skin or eyes.Always wear eye protection when starting a machine with a boost.To prevent possible personal injury, use care when removing the cables from the machine that has been started. Do not allow the cable ends to contact each other or the machine.With the disconnect switch in the OFF position, connecting an auxiliary power supply to the machine can energize the electrical system.Personal injury can result if proper precautions are not followed while working on the electrical system.Always turn the machine disconnect, starter and accessory switches to the OFF position before connecting an external power source.
