PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Consider having someone close enough by to come to
your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case bat-
tery 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 eye, immediately flood
eye 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 bat-
tery or engine.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool
onto 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 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.
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. Do
not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that
are commonly used with home appliances. These batter-
ies may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
i) Never charge a frozen battery.

PREPARING TO CHARGE

always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make
sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to
cause an arc.
