the possibility of sparks or damage to the
electrical system.
A tune-up can be an important life ex-
tender for your battery. An ont-of-tune
engine may be hard to start and this wears
down the battery, which may not fully
recharge afterward.
Other factors in accelerated battery
wear are low idle speeds in slow-moving
conditions. Picture a car with its wind-
shield wipers, heater, radio and headlights
driving at twilight in rush-hour traffic — a
marginal battery can go "over the hill"
quickly in such conditions,
•Jump starts: Batteries produce
hydrogen gas when they discharge or are
exposed to extreme loads such as cranking
the engine for a long period of time.
An explosion can be caused by a spark
near this hydrogen gas when the car is be-
ing jump-started.
If you ever need to jump-start your car
or someone else's, the Automotive Parts &
Accessories Association suggests the
following procedure so as to avoid any
chance of your car's battery exploding.
1. Pull the cars close enough to avoid
over eltending the jumper cables.
2. Connect one end of the other cable to
the positive (+) terminals of each battery.
3. Connect one end of the other cable to
the negative (-) terminal of the good bat-
tery.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to
the engine block of the vehicle being
started. Do not connect the cable to the
negative (-) of the bad battery under any
circumstances!
Avoid damage to the electrical com-
ponents of the vehicle being started by
making certain the engine is running at
idle speed before disconnecting the jumper
cables.
•Battery acid: Battery acid is highly
corrosive. Avoid splashing it on your skin
or clothing. Wash your hands before
touching your eyes if you have touched a
battery case or terminal.
In case of accidental contact with eyes
or skin, flush immediately with large
quantities of water. Get medical attention
IMMEDIATELY if the acid reaches your
eves.
