B.1 Special Precautions
While working on batteries there should always be a second person close to you or
within your voice range, in case help is needed.
Plenty of fresh water and soap must be ready at hand so that in case of acid
coming in contact with skin, eyes and clothes, the areas in question can be
thoroughly washed.
If acid enters the eyes, you must thoroughly wash the eyes with cold running water
for at least 15 minutes. It is recommended that you immediately consult a medical
doctor.
Baking powder neutralizes battery acid electrolyte. Always keep some at hand.
Special care must be taken when working with metal tools near or on the batteries.
With tools such as screwdrivers, spanners etc. short-circuits can result. Sparks
produced by the short-circuit can cause an explosion.
When working on batteries all personal metal items such as rings, necklaces and
bracelets must be removed. Batteries are so powerful that short-circuit with these
items can melt them and thus cause severe burns. Always follow the battery
manufacturers instructions.
Under certain conditions this unit or a connected generator can start
automatically. While working on an electrical installation you must ensure that
these appliances are disconnected before commencing any work.
