Checking the Battery
Keep the battery clean. Any evidence
of corrosion around the battery posts
or terminals should be removed using
a solution of household baking soda
and warm water. After the battery ter-
minals are dry, cover them with a light
coating of grease.
If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immedi-
ate medical attention. If pos-
sible, continue to apply
water with a sponge or cloth
until medical attention is re-
ceived.
If electrolyte gets on your
skin, thoroughly wash the
contacted area.
If you feel a pain or a burn-
ing sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a
battery.
Always provide ventilation
when working in an en-
closed space.
An inappropriately disposed
battery can be harmful to
the environment and human
health. Dispose the battery
according to your local
law(s) or regulation.
WARNING:
Always read the following
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
Keep lighted cigarettes and
all other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
Hydrogen, which is a highly
combustible gas, is always
present in battery cells and
may explode if ignited.
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children because
batteries contain highly cor-
rosive SULFURIC ACID. Do
not allow battery acid to con-
tact your skin, eyes, cloth-
ing or paint finish.
!
o If battery fluid is on your skin, flush
the affected areas with water for at
least 15 minutes and then seek medi-
cal assistance.
o If battery fluid is in your eyes, rinse
out your eyes with water and get
medical assistance as soon as pos-
sible. While you are being driven to
get medical assistance, continue to
rinse your eyes by using a sponge
or soft cloth saturated with water.
o If you swallow battery fluid, drink a
large quantity of water or milk fol-
lowed by milk of magnesia, eat a
raw egg or drink vegetable oil. Get
medical assistance as soon as pos-
sible.
While batteries are being charged (ei-
ther by a battery charger or by the
vehicle's alternator), they produce ex-
plosive gases. Always observe these
warnings to prevent injuries from oc-
curring:
o Charge batteries only in a well ven-
tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or
smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.
