Explosive Gas Precautions
This equipment contains components, which tend to produce arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion do
not install in compartments containing batteries or flammable materials or in locations, which require
ignition, protected equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered machinery, fuel tanks, or
joints, fittings, or other connection between components of the fuel system.
Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal
battery operation. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by
the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.

Precautions When Working with Batteries
1
Always have someone within range of your voice to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
2
Have access to plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3
Always wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
4
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately
flood eye with running cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5
NEVER smoke or allow a spark of flame in the vicinity of batteries. Gases produced by batteries are explosive.
6
Be careful when working with metal tools around batteries. Potential for spark exists or short-circuit of the
battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
7
Never charge a frozen battery. Battery temperature needs to be above 32°F (0°C)before charging.
