loads from the battery before removing
battery wires.

The electrolyte in a battery is an acid
solution which can cause severe burns
to the skin and eyes. Treat all electrolyte
spills to the body and eyes with extend-
ed flushing with clear water. Contact a
physician immediately.
Any electrolyte spills should be neutral-
ized with a solution of 2 teaspoons (10
ml) sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
dissolved in 1 quart (1 liters) of water
and flushed with water.
Aerosol containers of battery terminal
protectant must be used with extreme
care. Insulate metal container to reduce
the possibility of can contacting battery
terminals which could result in an explo-
sion.
