components or when performing welding on the
machine.

• Do not allow smoking, open flame, or sparks near bat-

tery during charging or servicing.

• Do not contact tools or other metal objects across the

battery terminals.

• Always wear hand, eye, and face protection when ser-

vicing batteries. Ensure that battery acid does not come
in contact with skin or clothing.

BATTERY FLUID IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE. AVOID CONTACT WITH
SKIN AND CLOTHING AT ALL TIMES. IMMEDIATELY RINSE ANY
CONTACTED AREA WITH CLEAN WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL
ATTENTION.

• Charge batteries only in a well ventilated area.

water to batteries only after the batteries are fully
charged.
