WARNING
To avoid eye injury, eye protection and acid-resistant gloves are required when working around batter-
ies. 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, damage to equipment, and injury to personnel.
Sulfuric acid contained in batteries can cause serious burns. 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.
To avoid injury, eye protection, protective clothing, and gloves must be worn when working around
capacitors. Capacitors contain an electrolyte that is a potassium hydroxide solution. Potassium hydrox-
ide is highly corrosive and can cause serious burns. If capacitor case becomes cracked, leaking electro-
lyte can result in fumes that are hazardous to inhale. If 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.
Remove all jewelry such as rings, ID tags, watches, and bracelets, when working around capacitors. If
jewelry or a tool contacts a capacitor terminal, a direct short may result, causing instant heating and
electric shock at the point of short circuit. Damage to equipment and injury to personnel could result.
NOTE
Tag cables to ensure correct installation.
Remove and discard tiedown straps. Use new tiedown straps on installation.
