Warning
Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and potential-
ly explosive gases. To avoid death or serious injury
when checking, 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.
• Wear proper personal protective equipment, in-
cluding safety glasses.
Labels
Inspect all safety and operational labels. Make certain
they are in place, in good condition and are legible. They
may be cleaned with soap and water, and a soft cloth if
the words or pictures cannot be seen.
Caution
Solvents may contain hazardous ingredients. Follow
the manufacturer's label for proper use and dispos-
al. Wear protective gloves and splash-proof safety
glasses when using solvents.
Remove wet paint overspray using a natural biodegrad-
able solvent and a soft cloth. Replace any missing or
illegible labels before operating the machine.
The machine labels are shown on the following pages.
