11.PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

a.Someone should be within range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid, when you work near a lead-acid battery.

b.Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

c.Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

d.If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

e.NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

f.Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.

g.Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working near a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short- circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

h.Use this charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is not intended to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in an automotive application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.

i.NEVER charge a frozen battery.

12.PREPARING TO CHARGE BATTERY

b.Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gases can be forcefully blown away, by using a piece of cardboard or other non- metallic material such as a fan.

c.Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
