Master Service Manual
As a battery is being charged, an explosive
gas mixture forms within and around each
cell. If the area is not properly ventilated,
this explosive gas can remain in or around
the battery for several hours after charging.
Be sure there are no open flames or sparks
in the charging area. An open flame or
spark can ignite this gas, resulting in
serious damage or injury.
Battery electrolyte is a solution of sulfuric
acid and water. Battery acid causes burns.
Should any electrolyte come in contact with
clothing or skin, flush the area immediately
with cold water. Should the solution get on
your face or in the eyes, flush the area with
cold water and receive medical attention
immediately.
