BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
(TT-R125E/TT-R125LWE)
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of
poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
●
Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
●
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
●
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
●
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
●
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
●
Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
●
Skin — Wash with water.
●
Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
●
Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.
CAUTION:
Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batteries.
The MF battery should be charged as
explained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.
