PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
when working
with or near a lead acid battery.
a. Someone should be able to hear your voice or
close enough to aid you when working near a lead
acid battery.
b. Have fresh water and soap nearby case battery
acid contact skin, clothing, or eyes. Wear com-
plete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid
touching eyes while working near battery.
c. If battery acid does contact skin or clothing,
wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
entered the eye, immediately flood the eye with
running water for at least 10 minutes and get help
immediately.
d. NEVER smoke or allow a spark of flame near
battery or engine.
e. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a
metal tool or auto part onto battery. It might spark
or short circuit battery or other electrical part that
may cause an explosion.
f. Remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces, and watches when work-
ing with a lead acid battery. 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.
g. Charger is designed to be used for recharging
lead acid batteries ONLY. Never use it to power a
low voltage electrical system, or for attempting to
recharge dry cell batteries that are commonly used
in house holds. These batteries may explode and
cause injury to persons and damage property
