Training Required to package,
transport or ship an eFLEX
Lithium Ion Battery
No Parts Required
Procedure
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) requires that
anyone who offers hazardous materials for transportation or
transports them on public roads, highways, or by rail, vessel
or air be trained in the general requirements for shipping
hazardous materials safely, security awareness, and job-specific
requirements. This applies to anyone who "affects the cycle
of transportation" and has specific importance to anyone
who signs a shipping paper, bill of lading or dangerous goods
declaration. The same materials are referred to in the US as
"hazardous materials" and in international transportation
as "dangerous goods". This training is required every
three years. The purpose of this document is to instruct
the user on proper packaging methods for the eFLEX
Lithium Ion Battery. For more information on Lithium Ion
Battery shipping guidance, please refer to either your Toro
Distributor or your Toro Technical Service representative.

Cracked or broken fins

Small punctures (under 1 inch in diameter)
•
No combination or multiples of the above items
