Predelivery check

To make the delivery process smooth and
efficient, the predelivery checks should be
completed as explained below.

Checking the battery

Battery electrolyte is dangerous; it con-
tains sulfuric acid which is poisonous and
highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive measures:
9 Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as
it can cause severe burns or permanent
eye injury.
9 Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
9 SKIN – Wash with water.
9 EYES – Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
9 Drink large quantities of water or milk
followed with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries generate explosive, hydrogen
gas. Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
9 Charge batteries in a well-ventilated
area.
9
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks, or
open flames (example: welding equip-
ment, lighted cigarettes).
9
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
1. Check the battery electrolyte level. If the
level is at or below the minimum level
mark a, add distilled water until the level
is between the maximum and minimum
level marks.
