FOR RECYCLING
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or explosion, do
not short circuit the battery terminals. Keep sparks and
flame away. Do not use metal tools for connections and
keep metal objects away from the battery terminals.
Metal objects can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together can
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
Consult your local waste authority for information regarding
available recycling and/or disposal options.
WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery's terminals with
heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble battery or remove any of its components.
Lead acid batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal
objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result.
