Battery Disposal - Big Joe T15 Operator's Manual

4-6 BATTERY DISPOSAL

Batteries may only be disposed of in accordance with national and local environ-
mental protection regulations and disposal laws.
Batteries contain an acid solution which is poisonous and corrosive. Therefore
always wear protective clothing and eye protection when carrying out work on bat-
teries. Above all avoid any contact with battery acid.
Nevertheless, should clothing, skin or eyes come in contact with acid the affected
parts should be rinsed with plenty of clean water-where the skin or eyes are
affected call a doctor immediately. Immediately neutralize any spilled battery acid.
Only batteries with a sealed battery container may be used.
The weight and dimensions of the battery have considerable affect on the opera-
tional safety of the tugger. Battery equipment may only be replaced with the
agreement of the manufacturer.
