CHECKING AND CHARGING THE

Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of poi-
sonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
9 9 Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries.
9 9 Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
9 9 Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment, light-
ed cigarettes).
9 9 DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
9 9 KEEP BATTERIES AND
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
9 9 Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
9 9 Skin — Wash with water.
9 9 Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL

lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or
