To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of

any equipment you intend to use in vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines. 

3.1.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

3

Ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid should a problem arise when

working near a lead-acid battery.

3

Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.

running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
