Important Battery Information:
ƒ Always observe the correct polarity when inserting the battery. Only replace the battery with
another battery of the same or comparable type. A risk of explosion exists if the battery is not
replaced properly.
ƒ
Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. Keep the battery out of reach of young children. If a battery
has been swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.
ƒ
Do not place the battery on a flame or source of heat. Never short-circuit the battery. Do not try
to use force to open the battery. This can result in the battery exploding, and can cause
serious injury.
ƒ
Never change the batteries in surroundings that could potentially cause an explosion. When
inserting or removing the battery, sparks may occur, which could cause an explosion. Areas in
which a risk of explosion exists are often, but not always, indicated as such. These include fuel
areas, such as below deck in a boat, fuel transfer points, fuel storage areas, areas in which the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powder, as well as all other
areas in which you are usually advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
