GENERAL INFORMATION
Ensure the cables (conductors) are properly sized.
Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced around the batteries.
Ensure the area around the batteries is well ventilated and clean
of debris.
Never smoke, or allow a spark or flame near the batteries.
Always use insulated tools. Avoid dropping tools onto batteries or
other electrical parts.
Never charge a frozen battery.
Never use old or untested batteries. Check each battery's label for age,
type, and date code to ensure all batteries are identical.
If a battery must be removed, always remove the grounded terminal
from the battery first. Make sure all devices are de-energized or
disconnected to avoid causing a spark.
Use the battery types recommended by Go Power. Follow the battery
manufacturer's recommendations for installation and maintenance.
Insulate batteries as appropriate against freezing temperatures. A
discharged battery will freeze more easily than a charged one.
If a remote or automatic generator control system is used, disable the
starting circuit and/or disconnect the generator from its starting battery
while performing maintenance to prevent accidental starting.
Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working with
batteries. Avoid touching bare skin or eyes while working
near batteries.
Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters the eye, immediately flood it with running
cold water for at least 20 minutes and get medical attention as soon
as possible.
