PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
•
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work
near a lead- acid battery. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing or eyes. Wear complete eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working
near battery.
•
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flush eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
•
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
•
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit the
battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
•
When working with a lead-acid battery, remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, watches, etc. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit-current high enough to weld a
ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
•
Use charger for charging a Lead-Acid Battery only.
It is not intended to supply power to a low
voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application. Do not use battery charger for
charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst
and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
•
