before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
WARNING – THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASSES AND WORKING IN
THE VICINITY OF A BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. SOME BATTERIES
GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.
FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME
BEFORE USING THIS UNIT, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery.
Review cautionary marking on all products.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
1.
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you
work near a battery.
2.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case the battery electrolyte contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
3.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working
near a battery.
4.
If the battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If
the electrolyte enters the eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least
ten (10) minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery.
6.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might spark or
short circuit the battery or other electric part that may cause an explosion.
7.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
with a battery. A battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or
the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
8.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
