Maintenance
Always recycle batteries at an official
recycling center in accordance with all
local laws and regulations.
•
Do not place tools or metallic objects on top of bat-
tery.
•
Remove all jewelry, including watches, rings, and
other metal objects.
•
Use tools with insulated handles.
•
If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off immedi-
ately with water.
•
If electrolyte contacts the eyes, immediately thor-
oughly flush with water and seek medical attention.
•
Wash down spilled electrolyte with an acid neutral-
izing agent. A common practice is to use a solution
of 454g (1 lb) bicarbonate of soda to 3.8 L (1 gal) of
water. Add bicarbonate of soda solution until evi-
dence of reaction (foaming) has ceased. Flush
resulting liquid with water and dry area completely.
•
DO NOT smoke when near battery.
•
DO NOT cause flame or spark in battery area.
•
Discharge static electricity from the body before
touching the battery by first touching a grounded
metal surface.
Battery should be regularly inspected per the
Schedule. Contact an IASD for assistance if necessary.
