Danger!
LEAD-ACID BATTERIES CONTAIN HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. BATTERIES
MUST BE HANDLED, TRANSPORTED, AND RECYCLED OR DISCARDED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
BECAUSE LEAD IS A TOXIC SUBSTANCE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES SHOULD
BE RECYCLED RATHER THAN DISCARDED.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN A FIRE, THE BATTERIES MAY
EXPLODE.
DO NOT OPEN OR MUTILATE THE BATTERIES. RELEASED ELECTROLYTE
IS HARMFUL TO THE SKIN AND EYES AND MAY BE TOXIC.
A BATTERY CAN HAVE A HIGH SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT AND PRESENT A
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD
BE OBSERVED WHEN WORKING ON BATTERIES:
1. REMOVE WATCHES, RINGS OR OTHER METAL OBJECTS.
2. USE TOOLS WITH INSULATED HANDLES.
3. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES AND BOOTS.
4. DO NOT LAY TOOLS OR METAL PARTS ON TOP OF BATTERIES.
5. DISCONNECT CHARGING SOURCE PRIOR TO CONNECTING OR
DISCONNECTING BATTERY TERMINALS.
6 DETERMINE IF BATTERY IS INADVERTENTLY GROUNDED. IF SO,
REMOVE THE SOURCE OF THE GROUND. CONTACT WITH ANY PART OF
A GROUNDED BATTERY CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. THE
LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH SHOCK WILL BE REDUCED IF SUCH GROUNDS
ARE REMOVED DURING INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE.
7 LEAD-ACID BATTERIES CAN PRESENT A RISK OF FIRE BECAUSE THEY
GENERATE HYDROGEN GAS. THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES SHOULD
BE FOLLOWED:
1. DO NOT SMOKE WHEN NEAR BATTERIES.
2. DO NOT CAUSE FLAME OR SPARK IN BATTERY AREA.
8 DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY FROM YOUR BODY BEFORE
TOUCHING BATTERIES BY FIRST TOUCHING A GROUNDED SURFACE.
