•
Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes
severe burns. Avoid any contact
with skin, eyes or clothing and
always shield your eyes when
working near batteries. In case of
contact, administer the following
FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty of
water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large
quantities of water or milk and
immediately call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
•
Batteries produce explosive
hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and
provide sufficient ventilation
when charging it in an enclosed
space.
•
KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTERIES
OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
EC000100
Use only distilled water, as tap water
contains minerals that are harmful
to the battery.
5. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.
