Precautions When Working With Batteries
1. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
2. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
3. Use caution to reduce the risk or dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could
spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an
explosion.
4. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with
lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high
enough to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.
5. Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work near a lead-acid battery.
6. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
7. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your
eyes while working near batteries.
8. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water
for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.
9. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the grounded terminal from
the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.
10. Always use identical types of batteries.
11. Never install old or untested batteries. Check each battery’s date code or label
to ensure age and type.
12. Batteries are temperature sensitive. For optimum performance, the should be
installed in a stable temperature environment.
13. Always recycle old batteries. Contact your local recycling center for proper
disposal information.
WARNING: Explosion or Fire Hazard
Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
