6.12.5 Replacing Batteries
CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to discharged acid
– Always use the battery handle when lifting the battery. It is the most convenient method and assures that the
battery acid will not spill. It also helps to prolong the life of the battery.
– Do not tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an upright position.
If there is battery acid in the bottom of the battery tray or on the sides of the battery, apply baking soda to these
areas to neutralise the battery acid. Before reinstalling the existing or new battery, clean the baking soda from
the battery tray or battery being sure to avoid contact with skin and eyes. Determine source of contamination.
Never install/reinstall a battery with a cracked or otherwise damaged case.
