1. SAFETY
DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE
BATTERY TESTER.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend
to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.
1.1.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
9
ensure that there is another person within hearing range and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when working
near a lead-acid battery.
9
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
9
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. if acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean
running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
9
remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
which is high enough to weld such items to the vehicle and cause severe burns.
9
ensure that hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine. remove ties and contain
long hair.
8
DO NOT
smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
