The electrolyte in the battery is toxic
and caustic and may cause burns on

face mask and/or goggles during main-
tenance operations.
In case of contact with the skin, rinse
with plenty of water.
In case of contact with the eyes, wash
with large quantities of water for fifteen
minutes and consult an oculist without
delay.
If the electrolyte is accidentally swal-
lowed, drink a lot of water or milk, then
continue drinking milk of magnesia or
vegetable oil and consult a doctor with-
out delay.
The battery gives off explosive gases;
keep it away from flames, sparks, ciga-
rettes and any other source of heat.

sure that the room is properly ventilated
and avoid inhaling the gases released
