Battery Maintenance and Safety
(See Figure 4-1.
)
• BATTERY ACID IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE. AVOID CONTACT
WITH SKIN AND CLOTHING AT ALL TIMES.
• BATTERY ACID RELEASES AN EXPLOSIVE GAS WHILE
CHARGING, ALLOW NO OPEN FLAMES, SPARKS OR
LIGHTED TOBACCO PRODUCTS IN THE AREA WHILE
CHARGING BATTERIES. CHARGE BATTERIES ONLY IN A
WELL VENTILATED AREA.
• ADD ONLY DISTILLED WATER TO BATTERIES. WHEN
ADDING DISTILLED WATER TO THE BATTERIES, A NON-
METALLIC CONTAINER AND/OR FUNNEL MUST BE
USED.
