Battery Service
•
Explosive mixtures of Hydrogen gas are
present within battery cells at all times. Do not
work with or charge battery in an area where
open flames (including gas furnace or water
heater pilots), sparks, cigarettes, or any other
sources of combustion are present. Always
provide ample ventilation in rooms where
batteries are being charged. Failure to do so
may result in severe bodily injury and/or
property damage.
•
A battery is a live electrical source. It cannot
be disconnected or neutralized. Do not drop any
tool or conductive object onto the battery. A
conductive object that comes in contact with
the battery terminals will initiate a short circuit
of the battery. This could cause the battery to
explode resulting in severe bodily injury and/
or property damage.
•
Battery electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous. It contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin eyes or clothing. Wear rubber
gloves and safety glasses while servicing
batteries. DO NOT INGEST! This may result in
severe bodily injury.
