PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
2.1
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
2.2
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
2.3
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
2.4
immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2.5
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit
2.6
battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a
2.7
lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or
the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and do not restrict ventilation in any way.
2.8
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
2.9
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
