Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potentially ex-
plosive gases. To avoid death or serious injury when check-
ing, testing, or charging batteries:
•
DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.
•
Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from batteries.
•
Provide ventilation for flammable vapors.
•
Wear proper personal protective equipment, including
safety glasses.
Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid,
which is poison and could cause severe chemical burns.
Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use
protective gear when handling batteries. DO NOT tip a bat-
tery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.
If contact does occur, follow these First Aid suggestions:
•
External contact
- Flush with water.
•
Eyes
- Flush with water (including under the eyelids) for
at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immedi-
ately. Flushing must begin immediately to avoid per-
manent eye tissue damage.
•
Internal contact
- Drink large quantities of water or milk
to dilute stomach contents. Do not induce vomiting.
Get medical attention immediately.
IMPORTANT - In case of internal contact, DO NOT give fluids
that induce vomiting.
