Installing Battery Cabinets

Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
Use tools with insulated handles.
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries or battery cabinets.
Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting terminals.
Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is, remove the source of the
ground. Any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of
such shock is reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.
When replacing batteries, use the same number of sealed, lead-acid batteries.
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
