WARNING

To avoid eye injury, eye protection is required when working around batteries. DO NOT smoke, use

open flame, make sparks or create other ignition sources around batteries. If a battery is giving off

gases, it can explode and cause injury to personnel. Remove all jewelry such as rings, ID tags, watches,

and bracelets. If jewelry or a tool contacts a battery terminal, a direct short will result in instant heating,

injury to personnel, and damage to equipment.

Sulfuric acid contained in batteries can cause serious burns. Always wear goggles, gloves, and apron. If

battery corrosion or electrolyte makes contact with skin, eyes or clothing, take immediate action to stop

the corrosive burning effects. Failure to follow these procedures may result in death or serious injury to

personnel.
