HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
DANGER
Battery acid generates hydro-
gen gas which is flammable and
explosive under certain con-
ditions.
It is present within a
battery at all times, even in a
discharged condition. Keep all
flames and sparks (cigarettes)
away from the battery. Wear eye
protection when working with a
battery. In the event of battery
acid contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing, wash the affected ar-
eas immediately with water for
at least 5 minutes. Seek medical
attention.
