PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
•
Someone should be within range
of your voice or close enough to
come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
•
Have plenty of fresh water and
soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
•
Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Avoid touching
eyes while working near battery.
•
If battery acid contacts skin or
clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters
eye, 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.
•
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 explosion.
•
Remove personal metal items
such as rings, bracelets, necklaces
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.
•
Use portable power source for
charging or boosting LEAD-ACID
battery only. Do not use for
charging dry-cell batteries that are
commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause injury to persons
and damage to property.
•
NEVER charge or boost a frozen
battery.
•
NEVER allow clamps to touch
together or to contact the same
piece of metal to prevent arcing.
