Safety

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

6.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.

7.Remove all personal metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with batteries. 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.

8.If you need to remove 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.

9.Never charge a frozen battery.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

10.Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

11.Make sure the voltage of the batteries matches the output voltage of the battery charger.

12.Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes and skin.

13.Study and follow all of the battery manufacturer's specific precautions, such as removing or not removing cell caps while charging, whether equalization is acceptable for your battery, and recommended rates of charge.
