WARNING
To avoid accidental start-up of vehicle and possible per-
sonal injury, disconnect the battery cables before pro-
ceeding. Always disconnect the negative cable first. If
the positive cable should contact ground with the nega-
tive cable installed, the resulting sparks may cause a bat-
tery explosion producing personal injury.
