5. Disconnect the negative (black) cable from
the negative (-) battery post, if it isn't already

resulting in personal injury.
• Always disconnect the negative (black)
battery cable before disconnecting the
positive (red) cable.
• Always connect the positive (red) battery
cable before connecting the negative (black)
cable.

with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear safety
glasses to shield your eyes and robber gloves
to protect your hands.
• Fill the battery where clean water is always
available for flushing the skin.
