To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from outlet before
•
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not
reduce this risk.
WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS.
•
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY
OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT
YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
•
those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary
markings on these products and on engine.
PERSONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure that someone is close enough to come to your aid when you
•
work near a lead-acid battery.
•
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching
•
eyes while working near battery.
•
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold
water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
•
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery.
•
It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may
cause explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
•
watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery
can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld such objects to
metal, causing a severe burn.
