BATTERY FOR 12-500
Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Do not allow flames, sparks or any ignited
object to come near the battery. When charging or working near battery, always shield your eyes and always provide
proper ventilation.
Battery cable should be disconnected before using “Fast Charge”.
Charge battery at 15 amps for 10 minutes or 7 amps for 30 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended charging rate. If
electrolyte starts boiling over, decrease charging.
Always remove grounded (-) battery clamp first and replace it last. Avoid hazards by:
1. Filling batteries in well-ventilated areas.
2. Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.
3. Avoid breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.
4. Avoid spilling or dripping electrolyte.
Battery Electrolyte is an acidic solution and should be handled with care. If electrolyte
is splashed on any part of your body, flush all contact areas immediately with liberal
amounts of water. Get medical attention immediately.
