In case of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse abundantly with water and
consult a doctor.
When handling the batteries for any reason, wear rubber gloves, safety helmet
( with visor) and make sure to be equipped with an individual eye-bath.
The acid also burns clothing. It is recommended that acid-resistant aprons or
clothing be worn.
2-3/ RISK OF GAS EXPLOSIONS
The batteries may generate gases (including hydrogen). These gases are
capable of being ignited and causing explosions which may cause deafness,
blindness or other injuries.
For example, if the charger/rectifier develops a fault or is incorrectly adjusted,
explosive gases may be released through the safety relief valves of the cells or
monoblocs of the battery.
Any form of spark (static electricity or other), all flames and short-circuits must
be forbidden.
Do not use plastic walkways.
Do not smoke in or near the battery room.
2-4/ RISK OF ELECTROCUTION AND BURNS
A battery composed of several cells or monobloc units connected in series can
reach dangerously high voltage levels.
All measures must be taken during the installation or intervention in order to
avoid any risk of electrocution or electrical burn.
Use insulated tools (in accordance with the NFEN 60 900 or IEC 60900 or
local equivalent) when installing or handling the batteries.
Never place metallic tools or objects on the batteries in order to avoid any risk
of short-circuit, electrocution or electrical burn.
Remove all metallic chains, watches, rings and bracelets if possible; otherwise
ensure they are insulated.
Wear insulating gloves and safety glasses. Insulate yourself from the ground
with an insulating mat, wooden walkway or stool for batteries with a potential
difference exceeding 120V.
