Safety Warnings
!
CAUTION
Batteries should always be enclosed in the
covered battery boxes provided with your boat.
The boxes will contain any spilled acid and will
protect the battery terminals from damage or
shorting due to contact with metal objects. The
battery boxes should always be secured using
the heavy-duty straps and aluminum trays
provided. The boxes, heavy-duty straps, and
aluminum trays are designed to hold the
batteries in place while the boat is underway,
reducing the possibility of damage to the
batteries and other equipment in the storage
area.
!
DANGER
Never use an open flame in the battery storage
area. Avoid striking sparks near the batteries. A
battery can explode if a flame or spark ignites
the free hydrogen gas vented during charging.
Always disconnect the batteries before doing
any work on the 12 VDC electrical systems.
!
WARNING
Always wear eye protection when servicing
batteries. Batteries contain sulfuric acid, which
can cause serious injury. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes, and clothing. If contact occurs,
immediately flush the affected area with water
and call for medical assistance.
