Do not connect the jumper cable to any part of the fuel system or to any moving parts. Avoid touching hot manifolds. Batteries generate hydrogen gas, which is flammable and explosive. Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. If contact occurs, flush the affected area immediately with water. Obtain medical help immediately if eyes are affected. Never expose the battery to open flame or electric spark. Do not smoke near the battery.
