The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and
cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging or us-
ing batteries in an enclosed space.
l
The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or
eyes may cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and a face
shield.
- If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
- If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with water for at least 15
minutes and call a physician immediately.
l
Electrolyte is poisonous.
- If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk and follow
with milk of magnesia or vegetable oil and call a physician.

l
To prevent the possibility of creating a spark near the battery, con-
nect charging cables first to the battery, then to the generator.
Disconnect cables first at the generator.
l
Before connecting charging cables to a battery that is installed in a
vehicle, disconnect the vehicle's grounded battery cable. Reconnect
the vehicle's grounded battery cable after the charging cables are
removed. This procedure will prevent the possibility of a short circuit
and sparks if you make accidental contact between a battery ter-
minal and the vehicle's frame or body.
NOTE:
l
The DC terminals may be used while the AC power is in use.
l
An overloaded DC circuit will trip the DC circuit protector (push button
comes out). If this happens, wait a few minutes before pushing the circuit
protector to resume operation.
