protective gear.
WARNING! Wear rubber gloves, a rubber apron and eye protection when servicing batteries. Lead acid
batteries emit hydrogen, a highly explosive gas, which can be ignited by electrical arcing or a lighted
cigarette, cigar or pipe. Do not smoke or allow an open flame near the battery being serviced. Shut off
all electrical equipment in the vicinity to prevent electrical arcing during servicing.
Switch off any electrical equipment near the batteries in order to avoid ignition sources of
flames/sparks during maintenance.
