WARNING: BATTERY SAFETY

• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compound
(asic) chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, reproductive

immediately give the person water or milk. Do not give water or milk if the person
is vomiting or has decreased alertness. Do not induce vomiting.

• Tampering with or modifying the electric circuit system may cause shock, fire or
explosion. It could permanently damage the system. Keep the charger housing
