Important Safety Instructions

Precautions When Working With Batteries

WARNING: Explosion and Fire Hazard

1.Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

2.Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.

3.Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the engine or batteries.

4.Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and cause an explosion.

5.Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or other similar objects to metal, causing a severe burn.

6.If you need to remove a battery, always remove the positive terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.

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

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

9.Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.
