Battery hazard prevention
Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid, and batteries gener-
ate flammable hydrogen gas, which may explode. Mistaken han-
dling can lead to serious injury or fire. For this reason, always
observe the following precautions.
!
Do not use or charge the battery if the battery electrolyte
level is below the LOWER LEVEL line. This may cause an
explosion. Always check the battery electrolyte level periodi-
cally and add distilled water to bring the electrolyte level to
the UPPER LEVEL line.
!
When working with batteries, always wear safety glasses
and rubber gloves.
!
Never smoke or use any flame near the battery.
!
If you spill acid on your clothes or skin, immediately flush the
area with large amount of water.
!
If acid gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with large
amount of water and seek medical attention.
!
Before working with batteries, turn the starting switch to the
OFF position.
As there is a hazard that sparks will be generated, always do as
follows.
!
Do not let tools or other metal objects make any contact
between the battery terminals. Do not leave tools or other
metal objects lying around near the battery.
!
Always disconnect the negative (-) terminal (ground side)
first when removing the battery; when installing the battery,
connect the positive (+) terminal first, and connect the
ground last.
!
Attach the battery terminal securely.
!
Flammable hydrogen gas is generated when the battery is
charged, so remove the battery from the chassis, take it to a
well-ventilated place, and remove the battery caps before
charging it.
!
Tighten the battery caps securely.
!
Install the battery securely to the determined place.
