Warning: Injury to Eyes and Skin
•
Use protective gear, such as rubber gloves, when inspecting or replacing the
battery due to the dilute sulfuric acid in the battery fluid. Be sure that fluid does
not get into eyes, or on skin or clothing.
•
If battery fluid gets into the eyes, or on the skin or clothing, immediately wash with
a large amount of water, and always be especially sure to seek medical attention
if it gets into the eyes.
Warning: Explosion
•
Do not operate the equipment or recharge the battery when the battery fluid level
is below the lower level.
•
Do not generate any sparks near the battery and do not allow any fire or other
open flame near the equipment because the battery generates ignitable gas.
