Explosion and Fire Hazard
Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the
equipment in which the battery is installed.
Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame within the vicinity of the engine or batteries.

touch the positive and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It can create an explosion
hazard.

similar objects to metal, causing a severe burn.
If you need to remove a battery, always remove the positive terminal from the battery first. Make
sure all accessories are off to avoid the risk of a hazard.
Make sure there is someone nearby in case of an emergency.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Wear complete eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near
batteries.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters
your eyes, immediately flood them with cold running water for at least twenty minutes and seek
