Precautions When Working With Batteries

BURN FROM HIGH SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENT, FIRE AND EXPLO- SION FROM VENTED GASES HAZARDS

•Always wear proper, non-absorbent gloves, complete eye protection, and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes and wiping your forehead while working near batteries. See note #4.

•Remove all personal metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with batteries. See notes #5 and #6 below.

•Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.

•Never charge a frozen battery.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

NOTES:

1.Mount and place the Freedom HF Inverter/Charger unit away from batteries in a well ventilated compartment.

2.Always have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

3.Always have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

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

5.Use extra caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.

6.Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or metal bracelet or the like to the battery terminal, causing a severe burn.

7.When removing a battery, always remove the negative terminal from the battery first for systems with grounded negative. If it is grounded positive, remove the positive terminal first. Make sure all loads connected to the battery and all accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.
