Information on batteries
• Batteries give off explosive gases.
➥ Avoid smoking, fire or open flames near batteries.
• Do not place any tools on batteries. Short-circuiting the
terminals produces sparks that ignite escaping battery
acid vapors.
• Battery acid is caustic. Avoid contact with the skin,
eyes, mouth and clothing.
➥ Wear protective equipment.
➥ In case of contact, immediately rinse the
contaminated part of the body with plenty of water
and seek medical attention.
• Always take off metal jewelry and watches before
performing work on the battery or the electrical
system.
• Dispose of old batteries in an environmentally friendly
manner and separately from other waste.
