IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Personal Safety Precautions
For your own personal safety, please follow the following precautions:
' Wear complete eye and clothing
protection
when working with lead-
acid batteries.
Be sure that someone is within range
of your voice to come to your aid if
needed while you work with or are
near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and
soap
nearby for use in case battery
acid contacts your eyes, skin, or
clothing, If this happens, wash
immediately with soap and water.
Then get medical attention.
Avoid touching your eyes
while
working with a battery. Acid particles
(corrosion) may get into your eyes. If
this occurs, flush eyes immediately
with running coid water for at least
10
minutes. Then immediately get
medical attention.
Remove all personal metal items
from your body such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces and watches,
while working with a lead-acid battery.
A battery can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld a ring (or
the like) to metal, causing a severe
bum.
• Take care
not to drop any metal tool
or metal object onto the battery. This
may spark or short circuit the battery
or another electrical device that may
cause an explosion.
• Always
operate your battery charger
in an open, well ventilated area.
• Never
smoke or allow a spark or
flame in the vicinity of the battery or
engine. Batteries generate explosive
gases.
• Neutralize
any acid spiils thoroughly
with baking soda before attempting to
clean up.
• WARNING:
Handling the cord on this
product or cords associated with
accessories sold with this product, will
expose you to lead, a chemical known
to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Wash hands after
handling.
