5.1 TOPPING UP BATTERY FLUID
Avoid sparks and open flames in
the vicinity of batteries. Battery acid
is an aggressive fluid.
In the event of contact with the
skin: rinse the skin with plenty of
water for a sustained period. If
redness or pain persists, consult a
doctor. Remove any clothing
affected and rinse with water.
In the event of contact with the
eyes: rinse with plenty of water for
at least 15 minutes and see a
doctor.
If swallowed: do NOT induce
vomiting. Rinse the mouth, drink
two glasses of water and see a
doctor.
In the event of inhalation: get some
fresh air, rest and consult a doctor.
Topping up battery fluid
1. Clean the top of the battery. If the top side
of the battery is contaminated with acid, it
should be rinsed with water.
2. Remove the plugs and top up the batteries
with distilled water to approximately 10 mm
above the plates or up to the ”max” indicator
level.
