battery acid spills with baking soda and water.
The battery pack must remain in the upright
position.
Do not expose the batteries or the charger to
water or rain during charging.
Explosion Hazards

lighted tobacco away from
batteries. Batteries emit
explosive gas.
The battery pack covers
should remain open during
the entire charging cycle.
Do not contact the battery
terminals or the cable
clamps with tools that may
cause sparks.
Component Damage Hazard
