Handling of the battery
For details on handling the battery, please
refer to the separate Battery Instruction
Manual.
For safe use of the battery, observe the
following precautions:
Danger Danger
Do not use the battery near open flames or in
a poorly ventilated area. Keep the battery
away from lit cigarettes and other open
flames.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
If the positive and negative terminals are
connected to each other by a metallic tool, the
battery will short-circuit. And a short-circuit will
also occur if the positive terminal contacts
another metallic part (machine body etc.).
Keep the battery away from open flames.
Hydrogen gas may be generated from the
battery. Improper handling of the battery
could cause a fire or explosion.
Danger Danger
Do not throw, drop, tilt or upset the battery, or
allow it to undergo physical impact.
Doing so could cause the electrolyte to leak.
If contact of the electrolyte with the eye, skin,
or clothing occurs, immediately wash it off with
plenty of water.
In particular, if eye contact or ingestion
occurs, immediately seek medical treatment.
If the electrolyte spills over the machine etc.,
wipe away with a wet cloth and flush the
affected area with plenty of water.
The electrolyte contained in the battery is
sulfuric acid.
Contact of the electrolyte (sulfuric acid) with
the skin could cause blindness or burns.
Contact of the electrolyte with the machine
etc. could cause damage to the machine.

Danger Danger
Do not allow anyone to handle the battery who
does not fully understand the correct battery
handling procedures and relevant dangers.
When handling the battery, wear protective
glasses and rubber gloves, etc.
If the battery has an unusual odor, if the
electrolyte level goes down unusually fast, or
if the electrolyte leaks, do not continue to use
the battery.
Failure to observe these precautions could
cause a fire, explosion, etc.
Caution
If the electrolyte overflows, neutralize it with
bicarbonate etc. until the bubbles disappear,
and wash out with plenty of water.
Failure to do so could cause corrosion of the
surrounding area or environmental pollution.
If deformation of the exterior of the battery is
observed, do not continue to use it.
Doing so could result in damage to the battery
or electrolyte leaks.
Use extra care when handling the battery,
and if any problems are found, replace the
battery with a new one.
Carry or store the battery with care so that it
does not fall or become damaged. 3.
