CHECKING BATTERY
(for Electric start model)

w

Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is poi-
sonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:

8

Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic
fluid as it can cause severe burns or
permanent eye injury.

8

Wear protective eye gear when han-
dling or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):

8

SKIN - Flush with water.

8

EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):

8

Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive
hydrogen gas; therefore, you should
always follow these preventive mea-
sures:

8

Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.

8

Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,
or open flames (e.g., welding equip-
ment, lighted cigarettes, etc.).

8

DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.

8

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC
FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
