Working in the
vicinity of lead acid
batteries can be dangerous. Before making
connections or servicing the batteries, read
and follow instructions in all applicable
instruction manuals. To reduce the risk of
battery explosion, follow the instructions
in this manual and those published by the
battery manufacturer, as well as those of
any other equipment used in the
surrounding area.
If battery acid contacts your eye(s),
flush with cold running water for 10
minutes and seek immediate medical
attention. If acid contacts your skin or
clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame
in the vicinity of the battery.
Avoid dropping metal tools on the
battery posts because they may spark
or short-circuit the system or battery,
causing an explosion.
Follow battery manufacturer's
maintenance procedures and
schedules. Be certain that the area
around the batteries is well ventilated.
Before servicing the batteries, blow
away gasses by waving a piece of
cardboard near the batteries.

check the condition

NOTE: An inexpensive hydrometer
can be purchased at an automotive
parts dealer.
