 Warning
Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and
potentially 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,
including safety glasses.
Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric
acid, which is poison and can cause severe chemical
burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin,
or clothing. Use protective gear when handling
batteries. DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle
in any direction.
If contact does occur, follow these First Aid
suggestions:
• External contact - Flush with water.
• Eyes - Flush with water (including under the eyelids)
for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention
immediately. Flushing must begin immediately to
avoid permanent eye tissue damage.
• Internal contact - Drink large quantities of water
or milk to dilute stomach contents. Do not induce
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
Important - In case of internal contact, do not give
fluids that induce vomiting.
