Explosive Gas Precautions
This equipment contains components that can produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or
explosion do not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials, or in
locations that require ignition-protected equipment. This includes any space containing
gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connections between
components of the fuel system.

Precautions When Working With Batteries
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid gets into
eyes, immediately flood eyes with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
•
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of batteries or engine. Do not drop a metal
tool on the battery. The resulting spark or short-circuit of the battery may cause an explosion.
•
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or similar metal, causing a severe burn.
