WARNING
Risk of explosion
Keep lit cigarettes and all
other flames or sparks
away from the battery.
The battery contains
hydrogen -- a highly com-
bustible gas which will
explode if it comes in contact with a
flame or spark.
Keep batteries out of the
reach of children because
batteries contain highly
corrosive SULFURIC ACID
and electrolytes. Do not allow bat-
tery acid to contact your skin, eyes,
clothing or paint finish.
Wear eye protection when
charging or working near a
battery. Always provide
ventilation when working
in an enclosed space.
Always read the following
instructions carefully when
handling a battery.
If any electrolyte gets into
your eyes, flush your eyes
with clean water for at
least 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention. If electrolyte gets
on your skin, thoroughly wash the
contacted area. If you feel pain or
burning sensation, get medical
attention immediately.
