Owner’s Manual
To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions, the battery
manufacturer instructions, and the instructions of the manufacturer of the equipment in which
the battery is installed. Working near a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal battery operation.
2.2 Battery Precautions
1. Always have someone within range of your voice to come to your aid when you work near a
lead-acid battery.
2. Have close access to plenty of fresh water and soap in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
3. Always wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near batteries.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters
eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes. Get medical
attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame near a battery. Gases produced by batteries are
explosive.
6. Be careful when working with metal tools around batteries. Potentials exist for sparks or
short-circuit of the battery or other electrical part which could cause an explosion.
