Ideal Battery Isolator
IDEAL BATTERY ISOLATOR PRECAUTIONS
1. Never place the Ideal Battery Isolator directly above a battery; gases produced from the battery
will corrode or damage it.
2. Never allow battery acid to drip onto the Ideal Battery Isolator.
1. Always wear eye protection while working around batteries.
2. Batteries contain corrosive acid and produce gas as a by-product of their operation.
• If acid contacts your skin, neutralize it using a paste made from baking soda and water.
• If acid contacts your eyes, flush them with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately.
3. Never work near sparks or open flames, they could ignite the hydrogen gas produced by the
battery leading to fire or explosion. Connecting the battery leads is one of the most common
causes of sparks.
4. Always work in a well ventilated area to prevent accumulation of battery gases.
5. Remove all metal personal items such as rings, watches, necklaces and bracelets before working
with the battery. A lead acid battery can product a short circuit current high enough to melt
metal and cause a severe burn.
6. When working near the battery, another person should be within range to come to your aid if
needed.
7. To prevent sparks and arcs and arcs from forming when connecting or disconnecting the battery:
• When connecting the battery, attach the positive lead before the negative.
• When disconnecting the battery, detach the negative lead before the positive.
