for transport, storage, and disposal. Strict safety regulations apply to the transport of defective or intact lithium batteries.
Transport of undamaged battery packs installed in a boat are exempted from dangerous goods regulations when such
batteries are transported by private individuals. For example, when transporting the boat to a winter storage facility.

•
Before operating lift equipment, check and determine applicability of federal, state, or local requirements.
•
Follow the requirements and recommendations from the manufacturer of the lifting equipment.
