• If you have acid splashes on the skin or clothing, wash them out with lots of water and soap.
• If acid sprays into your eyes, immediately flush them with clean water until no more burning is
felt. Immediately seek medical assistance.
• Do not smoke near the batteries. Avoid naked fire. The area around batteries is a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
• Ensure that no tools are dropped on the battery terminals; cover them as necessary.
• Do not wear jewellery or watches on your arms during installation that might short-circuit the
battery. Otherwise, there is a risk of skin burns.
• Protect all battery contacts against accidental contact.
• For battery banks: Use only deep cycle batteries. Starter batteries are not suitable. Lead-acid
gel batteries are recommended. They are maintenance-free, cycle stable, and do not release
gases.
• Never charge a frozen battery.
• Avoid battery short-circuits.
• Ensure proper ventilation of the battery to vent gases that may be released.
• Battery connection terminals must be checked for proper seating before operation.
• Battery connection cables shall be installed with utmost care and shall be checked for excessive
heating under load. Check the battery near vibrating components regularly for chafing and
insulation defects.
ATTENTION! For battery charger generators (Fischer Panda AGT-DC)!
Prior to installation, verify that the voltage of the battery bank complies with the output
voltage of the generator.
