Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potentially ex-
plosive gases. To avoid death or serious injury when check-
ing, testing, or charging batteries:
•
DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.
•
Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from batteries.
•
Provide ventilation for flammable vapors.
•

safety glasses.
Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric acid,
which is poison and could cause severe chemical burns.
Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin, or clothing. Use
protective gear when handling batteries. DO NOT tip a bat-
tery beyond a 45° angle in any direction.
If contact does occur, follow these First Aid suggestions:

another Telehandler, make sure the two (2) Telehandlers
are not touching.
•
DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each
other.
•
Connect charged battery positive (+) to stalled battery
positive (+).
•
Connect charged battery negative (–) to stalled
Telehandler ground. Make the connection to the stalled
Telehandler ground last.
•
Connect jump start cable to stalled Telehandler ground
a safe distance from the battery to prevent sparks near
the battery.
•
Jump start only with a power source with the same
voltage as the stalled Telehandler.
•
Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled
Telehandler to prevent them from operating when the
power source is connected.
