WARNING

Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it contains sulfuric acid and therefore is poisonous and highly caustic.

Always follow these preventive mea- sures:

●Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic fluid as it can cause severe burns or permanent eye injury.

●Wear protective eye gear when han-

dling or working near batteries. Antidote (EXTERNAL):

●SKIN - Flush with water.

●EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.

Antidote (INTERNAL):

●Drink large quantities of water or milk followed by milk of magnesia, beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical attention.

Batteries also generate explosive hydrogen gas; therefore, you should always follow these preventive measures:

●Charge batteries in a well-ventilated ar- ea.

●Keep batteries away from fire, sparks, or open flames (for example: welding equipment, lighted cigarettes, and so on.)

●DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han- dling batteries.

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
