BATTERIES AND CHARGING

SAFETY

Always observe the following warnings when working on or
near batteries:
To prevent battery explosion that could result in
severe personal injury or death, keep all smok-
ing materials, open flame or sparks away from
the batteries.
Hydrogen gas is formed when charging bat-
teries. Do not charge batteries without ade-
quate ventilation. A 4% concentration of
hydrogen gas is explosive.
Be sure that the key switch is off and all
electrical accessories are turned off before
starting work on vehicle.
Never disconnect a circuit under load at a
battery terminal.

trolyte can cause burns and damage.
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an
acid solution which can cause severe burns
to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte
spills to the body and eyes with extended
flushing with clear water. Contact a physi-
cian immediately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutralized
with a solution of 1/4 cup (60 ml) sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) dissolved in 1 1/2
gallons (6 liters) of water and flushed with
water.
