BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING

WARNING

Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas and contain electrolyte which is made of poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid. Therefore, always follow these preventive measures:

Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.

Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.

Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or open flames (e.g., welding equipment, lighted cigarettes).

DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han- dling batteries.

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it can cause severe burns or permanent eye injury.

FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT: EXTERNAL

Skin — Wash with water.

Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.

INTERNAL

Drink large quantities of water or milk fol- lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical attention.

CAUTION:

Charging time, charging amperage and charging voltage for an MF battery are dif- ferent from those of conventional batteries. The MF battery should be charged as explained in the charging method illustra- tions. If the battery is overcharged, the electrolyte level will drop considerably. Therefore, take special care when charging the battery.
