Mercury Avator 7.5e Operation, Maintenance And Installation Manual page 32

• Only use the provided handles to carry the Mercury Avator battery.
• Use the original packaging or equivalent for transportation of the Mercury
Avator battery. When transported, it must be placed in the upright position
or on one of the long sides.
The voltage range (35V – 58.5V) is larger than may be expected from other
battery types such as lead‑acid batteries. Even when thought to be discharged,
the Mercury Avator outboard motor can still have hazardous voltage levels.
Leaking electrolytes or gases from a damaged battery can cause injury to the
skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Never
inhale gases directly.
Electrical shock and severe injury can result from contact with uninsulated or
damaged parts, wiring, or electrical connections.
• Avoid touching the electrical contacts.
• Never attempt any battery repair work.
• Never touch chaffed, damaged, or severed wiring or obviously defective
components.
• Prevent chaffing, rubbing, or abrading to the batteries, wiring, and cables.
FIRST AID
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for Lithium‑Ion batteries, which is
available on www.mercurymarine.com.
• In case of fire, use fire‑extinguishing powder, water or sand to extinguish
the fire.
• The Mercury Avator battery contains hazardous materials which are
stored safely inside. If the Mercury Avator battery is used incorrectly, toxic
liquids may leak or gasses may release. Do not touch or ingest any of
the released materials or inhale released fumes. Should inhalation, skin
contact, eye contact or swallowing occur, take the necessary first aid
measures immediately. Seek qualified emergency assistance.
