SAFETY
Always observe the following warnings when working on or
near batteries:
To prevent battery explosion that could result
in severe personal injury or death, keep all
smoking materials, open flames or sparks
away from the batteries.
Hydrogen gas is formed when charging bat-
teries. Do not charge batteries without ade-
quate ventilation. A 4% concentration of
hydrogen gas is explosive.
Be sure that the key switch is off and all
electrical accessories are turned off before
starting work on the vehicle.
Never disconnect a circuit under load at a
battery terminal.
Batteries are heavy. Use
proper lifting techniques
when moving them.
Always lift the battery
with a commercially avail-
able lifting device. Use
care not to tip batteries
when removing or installing them; spilled
electrolyte can cause burns and damage.
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an
acid solution which can cause severe burns
to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte
spills to the body and eyes with extended
flushing with clear water. Contact a physi-
cian immediately.
