To avoid all risk of sparks

  • Ensure that the 'energy consumers' (ceiling lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting a 12 V battery;
  • When charging, switch off the charger before connecting or disconnecting the 12 V battery;
  • Do not place any metal objects on the 12 V battery as this may create a short circuit across the terminals;
  • Wait for at least five minutes after switching off the engine before disconnecting the 12 V battery;
  • Make sure that you reconnect the 12 V battery terminals after refitting.
warning

Special procedures may be required to charge some 12 V batteries. Contact your approved dealer.

Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion, and charge the 12 V battery in a well ventilated area.

Risk of serious injury.
