WARNING!
Working with or near lead acid batteries is dangerous.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases.
A battery explosion could result in loss of eyesight or serious
burns.
Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame near batteries.
Charge batteries in locations which are clean, dry, and well
ventilated. Do not lay tools or anything metallic on top of any
battery. All repairs to a battery must be made by experienced
and qualified personnel.
When working with batteries, remove personal items
such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches. A battery
can produce enough voltage to weld jewelry to metal causing
a severe burn.
Always have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Operating the battery with a low battery voltage can
cause premature motor contact failure.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
