03-M-E3B, 03-M-DI-E3B, 03-M-E3BG WSM SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AVOID FIRES Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or sparks in your working area. To avoid sparks from an accidental short circuit, always disconnect the battery negative cable first and connect it last. Battery gas can explode. Keep sparks and open flame away from the top of battery, especially when charging the battery. Make sure that no fuel has been spilled on the engine. VENTILATE WORK AREA If the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the area is well ventilated. Never run the engine in a closed area. The exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide.

PREVENT ACID BURNS Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn skin, clothing and cause blindness if splashed into eyes. Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothing. If you spill electrolyte on yourself, flush with water, and get medical attention immediately. DISPOSE OF FLUIDS PROPERLY Do not pour fluids into the ground, down a drain, or into a stream, pond, or lake. Observe relevant environmental protection regulations when disposing of oil, fuel, coolant, electrolyte and other harmful waste. 3 KiSC issued 07, 2008 A
