Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit
current. Observe proper precautions. Servicing should be performed by
qualified service personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
Risk of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Replace with
same type and rating only.
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to
flame.
This product contains Value Regulated Sealed Acid Batteries. These batteries
contain lead, a neurotoxin, and sulfuric acid, a corrosive. Additionally, the
energy stored in the batteries can present a shock hazard and a burn hazard.
Batteries should only be serviced by trained personnel. Appropriate safety
precautions must be observed, including eye protection and skin protection.
Contact with electrolyte requires flushing with a generous amount of clean
water. Seek medical attention immediately following contact with electrolyte.
Unwanted batteries must be recycled and should never be discarded.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and short circuit
current. The following precautions should be observed when working on
batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the batteries.
5. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery
terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently
grounded, remove source of ground. Contact with any part of a grounded
battery can result in electric shock. The likelihood of such shock will be
reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance
(applicable to a UPS and a remote battery supply not having a grounded
supply circuit).
CAUTION
