Battery Safety

Burn Hazards

Batteries contain acid. Always wear protective clothing and eye wear when working with batteries.

Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.

Explosion Hazards

Keep sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from batteries. Batteries emit an explosive gas.

The covers should be open during the entire charging cycle.

Do not contact the battery terminals or the cable clamps with tools that may cause sparks.

SAFETY RULES

Component Damage Hazards

Do not use any battery charger greater than 24V to charge the batteries.

Do not expose the batteries or the charger to water or rain.

Electrocution Hazards

Connect the battery charger to a grounded, AC 3-wire electrical outlet only.

Inspect daily for damaged cord, cables and wires. Replace damaged items before operating.

Avoid electrical shock from contact with battery terminals. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.

Tip-over Hazard

Do not use batteries that weigh less than the original equipment. Four batteries are used as counterweight and are critical to machine stability. Each battery must weigh 75 pounds / 34 kg.

Lifting Hazard

Use the appropriate number of people and proper lifting techniques when lifting batteries.
