those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary
marking on these products and on engine.
l) PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
1) Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid
when you work near a lead-acid battery.
2) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid
touching eyes while working near battery.
4) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running
cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5) Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or
engine.
6) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto
battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that
may cause explosion.
7) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working 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.
m) When charging the internal battery, work in a well ventilated area and
do not restrict ventilation in any way.
n) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
o) Do not expose a jump starter. Do not expose a jump starter to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above
130°C/265°F may cause explosion.
p) Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
product is maintained.
q) Attach output cables to a battery and chassis as indicated below.
Never allow the output clamps to touch one another.
1) Instructions shall include step by step directions for the proper
use of the booster function detailing the correct steps to connect and
disconnect the booster cables to the battery.
