CAUTION!

1.  WARNING!

 To reduce risk of explosion, do not install in machinery space or in area in 

which ignition-protected equipment is required to be used.

2. 

WARNING! 

Observe the following when working with Lead Acid Batteries.

 

  

Batteries contain very corrosive diluted Sulphuric Acid as electrolyte. Precautions should 
be taken to prevent contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wear eye protection.

 

  

Batteries generate Hydrogen and Oxygen during charging resulting in evolution of ex-
plosive gas mixture. Care should be taken to ventilate the battery area and follow the 
battery manufacturer’s recommendations. 

  

Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the batteries. 

  

Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or 
short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion. Always 
use insulated tools.
