BATTERY SAFE OPERATION

CAUTION - PRECAUTIONS:
a) Contact with electrolytic acid can cause skin irritation and damage clothing. Wear a protective
apron, gloves and goggles when working with batteries. Have plenty of fresh water and soap
nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin, clothing, or eyes.
b) Remove personal metal items such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and watches when working
with batteries. A battery can produce a short circuit current sufficient enough to weld metal
objects, causing severe burns.
c) Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the batteries. Caution must be taken
to reduce the risk of dropping metal tools onto the battery. A spark or short circuit may result in
an explosion.

FIRST AID

Immediately flush eyes with cold, fresh water for a minimum of 10 minutes if electrolytic acid comes in
contact with eyes. Seek professional medical attention.

VENTILATION

Blocking louvers or air flow perforations of convection or fan cooled battery chargers and/or machine will
result in damage to the unit. When installing the unit leave space for air to flow freely through the intake
and discharge louvers and/or perforations.
