Safety
Batteries
•
When the tops of batteries are exposed, take extra care when working on or around the
terminals.
•
Do not allow metal tools to drop on to or touch the exposed terminals of the batteries or
other exposed connections as this could cause a short circuit, which may result in an
explosion.
•
Remove personnel items of jewellery such as rings, watches, chains etc. before com-
mencing work on batteries. If such items were to cause short circuit whist being worn,
very serious burns would result.
•
Batteries are constructed using very heavy materials, because of this it is essential that
correct lifting techniques be employed when moving batteries around. It is also recom-
mended that safety footwear be worn.
•
When disposing of old batteries, please ensure that correct disposal procedures are
followed. Contact your local authority for their recommendations.
Battery Chargers
•
Remember battery chargers are Mains Driven Units.
•
Always observe all guidelines and laws relating to mains-connected installations and
equipment.
•
Never operate the battery charger in wet or damp conditions.
•
If you suspect that the charger has been exposed to water or excessive damp, do not
use it. Return the unit back to the dealer/supplier for inspection.
•
If the battery charger is suspected of being defective or is visibly damaged, return the
unit back to the dealer for inspection.
