Personal Safety Precautions

•Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working with lead- acid batteries.

•Make sure that someone is within range of your voice to come to your aid if needed while you work with or are near a lead-acid battery.

•Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or cloth- ing. If this happens, wash immediately with soap and water. Then get medical attention.

•Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Wear safety glasses. Acid particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes. If this occurs, flush eyes immediately with running cold water for at least 15 minutes. Then immediately get medical attention.

•Never charge a frozen battery.

•Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working near a lead acid battery.

•Use the charger for charging a lead- acid battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electri- cal system other than in an automo- tive 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 or dam- age to property.

•Remove all personal metal items from your body such as rings, brace- lets, necklaces and watches, while working with a lead-acid battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe burn.

•Take care not to drop any metal tool or metal object onto the battery. This may result in a spark or short circuit across the battery or another electri- cal device that may cause an explo- sion.

•Always operate the battery charger in an open, well-ventilated area.

•Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases.

•Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up.

•If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
