SAFETY

-Ensure the Equipment ON/OFF Switch is turned to OFF before starting to install the batteries. If the Equipment ON/OFF Switch is not turned to OFF the equipment and battery may be damaged. It is also essential for safety reasons that the battery connectors are disconnected before to remove the fuse of the battery cubicle.

-Stand on a rubber mat and use insulated tools.

-Remove all personal effects, rings, watches, pens, which might cause a short circuit when working on the battery. Batteries are live at all times and short circuits can melt metals and cause injury, damage or fire.

-DO NOT smoke or use naked flames and avoid creating arcs or sparks when working on the equipment; do not wear clothes which may generate static electricity.

-The sealed lead-acid batteries contain sulphuric acid. If a battery container is broken any acid leaking will cause burns on contact with skin and attack metal, paint and fabrics. Any area contaminated with acid should be thoroughly washed with large volumes of clean water. Rubber gloves should be worn when handling damaged batteries.
