Cautions to be taken when handling batteries:
• If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush it off with a copious
amount of water
The battery electrolyte contains dilute sulfuric acid, a very
corrosive material. It can destroy most things it touches. It will
cause painful and serious burns if it gets on the skin. It can
cause blindness if it gets into eyes. If battery electrolyte comes
in contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately
with a copious amount of water.
•
If electrolyte gets into your eyes, get medical attention
If electrolyte gets into your eyes, flush it off immediately with a
copious amount of water and get medical attention.
• If anyone swallowed electrolyte accidentally:
Let him drink a copious amount of water or milk with egg white
and salad oil mixed in it and take a rest. Send for a doctor.
•
Wear safety glasses when handling batteries
Wear rubber gloves, rubber boots, safety glasses when
changing or charging batteries, adding battery electrolyte, or
adjusting the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte.
•
The electric truck’s batteries are high voltage
The batteries used for electric trucks are high voltages more
than 48 V. If anyone touches it inadvertently, he can get an
electrical shock accident or burn.
•
No fire
Since explosive hydrogen gases are always being released
from the battery, there is a danger of causing an explosion.
Never smoke or use fire or naked flame near the battery. No
sparks.
• To prevent the generation of sparks, turn off the charger switch
before connecting or disconnecting the battery or charger cable.
•
Do not put any metal tool on the battery case
•
Do not short the battery terminals
Do not short the battery terminals by placing a piece of
metal between the positive and negative terminals. A loose
terminal might cause sparks, causing an explosion. Make sure
the terminals are tight. Use caution not to have the wrong
connections of the battery terminals.
• When turning the screw of the positive pole of the battery,
use caution not to allow the tool to touch the metal parts of
the truck, such as the engine
Engine-powered trucks
•
If the tool touches metal parts, there might occur sparks,
causing an accident.
•
Remove the negative (-) terminal of the battery first and
reinstall it last
Engine-powered trucks
When removing the battery, disconnect the negative (-) terminal
first. When reinstalling, connect the positive (+) terminal first,
and then connect the negative (-) terminal.
