It can start anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be injured by moving fan
blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.

hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
