MAINTENANCE

Battery

Battery Fluid

A poorly maintained battery will

deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery

fluid level often. The fluid level should

be kept between the upper (1) and lower

(2) level marks.

Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains acid! Serious burns

can result from contact with the skin, eyes, or clothing. If contact

occurs, seek immediate medical attention.

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Call physician

immediately.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical

attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, open flames,

cigarettes, etc. away. Ventilate when charging or using in closed

space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries.
