3. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
3.1
Consider having someone close enough
by to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
3.2
Have plenty of fresh water and soap
nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
3.3
Wear complete eye protection and
clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
while working near battery.
3.4
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood
eye with running cold water for at least
10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
3.5
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame
in vicinity of battery or engine.
3.6
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of
dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might
spark or short-circuit battery or other
electrical part that may cause explosion.
3.7
Remove personal metal items such as
rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A
lead-acid battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring
or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
3.8
Use this charger for charging only 6V and
12V LEAD-ACID (STD, AGM or GEL) and
12V Lithium Ion (LiFePO

) rechargeable
batteries with recommended rated
