2. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
a. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous.
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery
operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that when
using the KWIKSTART, you read this manual and follow the
instructions exactly.
b. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review
cautionary marking on these products and on engine.
3. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to
come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
c. Wear complete eye protection, and clothing protection. Avoid
touching eyes while working near battery.
d. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters eyes, immediately flood eyes with
running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or
engine.

battery. It might spark or short circuit battery or other electrical
part that may cause explosion.
g. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A
lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough
to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

battery only. Do not use for charging dry-cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
i. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
