Precautions When Working With Batteries
WARNING
NOTES:
1. Locate the SPG unit away from batteries in a well-ventilated compartment.
2. Always have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
3. Always have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or
eyes.
4. 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.
5. Use extra caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark or short
circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
6. Batteries can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or metal bracelet or like to the
battery terminal, causing a severe burn.
7. When removing a battery, always remove the negative terminal from the battery first for systems
with grounded negative. If it is grounded positive, remove the positive terminal first. Make sure all loads
connected to the battery and all accessories are off so you don't cause an arc.
