working
around storage batteries,
remember that all of the expos-
ed metal parts are “live”. Never
lay a metal object across the
terminals as a spark or short
circuit may result. Sparks,
lighted matches and exposed
flames must be kept away from
the battery due to the presence
of explosive gas in the battery.
The liquid in the batteries is
acid. Use care not to spill it on
hands or clothing.

sulfuric acid, which can cause
severe burns. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. An-
tidote: EXTERNAL, flush with
