To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufactur-
er of any equipment you plan to use in the vicinity of the battery.
Review cautionary markings on the products and the engine.
8. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS when working with or near a lead
acid battery.
a. Someone should be able to hear your voice or close enough
to aid you when working near a lead acid battery.
b. Have fresh water and soap nearby case battery acid contact
skin, clothing, or eyes. Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
c. If battery acid does contact skin or clothing, wash immediately
with soap and water. If acid entered the eye, immediately flood
the eye with running water for at least 10 minutes and get help
immediately.
d. NEVER smoke or allow a spark of flame near battery or en-
gine.
e. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto
battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical
part that may cause an explosion.
f. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, neck-
laces, and watches when working with a 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.
g. Charger is designed to be used for recharging lead acid bat-
teries ONLY. Never use it to power a low voltage electrical system,
or for attempting to recharge dry cell batteries that are commonly
used in house holds. These batteries may explode and cause
injury to persons and damage property
