CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of
poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
S
Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries.
S
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
S
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
S
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
S
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
S
Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
First aid in case of bodily contact:
External
S
SKIN – Wash with water.
S
EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get immediate medical attention.
Internal
Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or
vegetable oil. Get immediate medical atten-
tion.
S
This is a sealed battery. Never remove the
sealing caps because the balance between
cells will not be maintained and battery
performance will deteriorate.
S
Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for a MF battery are differ-
ent from those of conventional batteries.
The MF battery should be charged as ex-
plained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.
