Precautions when working with batteries

Precautions when working with batteries

WARNING: Explosion and fire hazards

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 near the engine or battery.

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

5.Remove metal items like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-acid batteries. These batteries produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal and cause 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.
