Personal Precautions
Risk of explosive gases.
Never smoke or allow a spark or
flame in the vicinity of a battery.
Batteries can produce a highly explosive mix
of hydrogen gas and oxygen, even when the
battery is not in operation. Always work in a
well-ventilated area.
Wash hands after handling.
REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA PROP. 65: Battery posts,
terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to the state of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
Inspect the battery for damage and check the electrolyte level.
If the electrolyte level is too low, replenish it and fully charge
the battery. Always use the necessary safety precautions when
working with batteries to prevent severe injury or death.
Follow all manufacturers’ instructions and BCI (Battery Council
International) safety recommendations, which include the
following precautions:
Battery acid is highly corrosive. If acid enters your eyes,
immediately flush them thoroughly with cold running
water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
If battery acid gets on your skin or clothing, wash imme-
diately with a mixture of water and baking soda.
Always wear proper safety glasses or face shield when
working with or around batteries.
Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as the analyzer
cords and cables away from moving engine parts.
Remove any jewelry or watches before you start servicing
the battery.
