WARNING
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH to

dling the battery:
Always read and follow instruc-
tions carefully when handling a
battery.
Wear eye protection designed
to protect the eyes from acid
splashes.

Hydrogen is always present in
battery cells, is highly combus-
tible, and may explode if ignit-

Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is highly corrosive. Do
not allow acid to contact your
eyes, skin or clothing.
If acid gets into your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water for at least 15 min-
utes and get immediate medical atten-
tion. If acid gets on your skin, thoroughly
wash the area. If you feel pain or a burn-
ing sensation, get medical attention im-
mediately.
