Precautions when working with batteries
WARNING: Explosion and fire hazard
1.
Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and
the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
2.
Make sure the area around the battery is well-ventilated.
3.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the
engine or batteries.
4.
Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or allow a
metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive and negative
cable ends or battery terminals.
5.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with batteries. Batteries
produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or
other similar objects to metal, causing a severe burn.
6
. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the negative
terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are
off so you don’t cause an arc.
7.
Someone should be within range of your voice, or close
enough to come to your aid when you work near batteries.
8.
Have plenty of fresh water, soap and a supply of baking soda on
hand in the area of the batteries in case of contact with battery
acid. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte.
9.
The JumPack is supplied with a rechargeable Li-Cobalt battery.
This battery is self-contained and not consumer replaceable. Battery
must be disposed of properly when it no longer holds a charge.
Proper charging practices will increase the life of the batteries.For
