burns. Avoid any contact with
skin, eyes or clothing and al-

working near batteries. In case
of contact, administer the fol-
lowing FIRST AID.

tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.

drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed
space.

Take care not to spill electrolyte
on the drive chain, as this may
weaken it, shorten chain life and
possibly result in an accident.
