cause electric shock. Caution must be exercised
when making connections to a battery to avoid
shock and contact with the acid, and to prevent
any sparking that could lead to an explosion.
ALWAYS follow the general battery safety rules
and instructions.
General Battery Safety Rules

ALWAYS use eye protection and protective
clothing when handling batteries.
•
NEVER smoke or work near sparks or other
sources of ignition.
•
NEVER touch both battery terminals at the same
time with your hand or any non-insulated tools.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, flush
immediately with water and neutralize with baking
soda.
