B.1 Special Precautions

While working on batteries there should always be a second person close to you or within your voice range, in case help is needed.

Plenty of fresh water and soap must be ready at hand so that in case of acid coming in contact with skin, eyes and clothes, the areas in question can be thoroughly washed.

If acid enters the eyes, you must thoroughly wash the eyes with cold running water for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended that you immediately consult a medical doctor.

Baking powder neutralizes battery acid electrolyte. Always keep some at hand. Special care must be taken when working with metal tools near or on the batteries. With tools such as screwdrivers, spanners etc. short-circuits can result. Sparks produced by the short-circuit can cause an explosion.

When working on batteries all personal metal items such as rings, necklaces and bracelets must be removed. Batteries are so powerful that short-circuit with these items can melt them and thus cause severe burns. Always follow the battery manufacturers instructions.

Under certain conditions this unit or a connected generator can start automatically. While working on an electrical installation you must ensure that these appliances are disconnected before commencing any work.
