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 there is another person within hearing range of your voice 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 a ring or the like to metal, which would cause severe burns.
9
ensure 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 battery or engine.
