1. SAFETY
1.1 Follow your company's Safety Instructions when
working with or near industrial truck batteries.
Observe the caution label affixed to the battery.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with industry and
government guidelines (OSHA, ANSI) for charging,
handling, and maintaining industrial batteries.
1.2 Assign battery and charger care to properly trained
personnel.
1.3 This battery contains sulfuric acid electrolyte.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Wear rubber apron, gloves, boots, and goggles or face
shield when handling, checking, filling, charging or
repairing batteries.
1.4 Keep water readily available for flushing spilled
electrolyte from eyes or skin. Use plain water only and
obtain medical attention immediately. Special deluge
showers and eye wash basins are required.
1.5 Batteries produce hydrogen and oxygen gas
during charge. Keep open flames away. Do not check
electrolyte level with a cigarette lighter or match. Use
a flashlight or permanent lights. Switch on/off away
from the top of the battery. Do not smoke or create
sparks.
1.6 Lift batteries with a certified/approved hoist,
crane, lift truck, or similar equipment. Move batteries
with trucks, conveyors, or rollers. Be sure to place a
rubber mat or similar insulating material across the
tops of coverless batteries when handling. Make sure
equipment is of ample strength and properly installed.

1.7 Never lay metal tools, such as wrenches or
screwdrivers, on top of a battery.
1.8 Disconnect the battery from the truck when
performing maintenance and repair on motor or
electrical system.
1.9 Open or "break" the battery circuit before
attempting repairs to the charging plug or receptacles.
1.10 Apply a strong neutralizer, such as baking soda
or soda ash, when electrolyte is spilled on the floor.
Check local regulations regarding the disposal of
neutralized waste.
2. RECEIVING BATTERIES
Immediately upon receipt of shipment, examine the
outside of the packing for signs of rough handling
before accepting the battery from the carrier. Wet
spots on the shipping pallet may be an indication of
leaking jars broken in shipment.
If there is evidence of damage, the receipt should be
signed and both copies (carrier's and receiving copies)
marked "Shipment Received Damaged". The carrier
should be called immediately and asked to make a
"Carrier's Inspection for Damage Report".
If "concealed" damage is later detected, the carrier
should be called immediately and requested to make
a "Carrier's Inspection for Concealed Damage Report".
After inspection by the carrier, arrangements should
be made with the local Stryten Energy representative
to have the battery repaired before placing it in
service.
