Precautions for Working with Batteries
WARNING: Explosion hazard
1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
4. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery.
It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an
explosion.
5. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with
lead‐acid batteries. Lead‐acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough
to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.
6. Have someone within the range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a lead‐acid battery.
7. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
8. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your
eyes while working near batteries.
9. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at
least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.
10. If you need to remove a battery, make sure all accessories are off so you
don't cause a spark.
