Battery - Replace

Batteries give off combustible gases which can
explode. A spark can cause the combustible gas-
es to ignite. This can result in severe personal in-
jury or death.
Ensure proper ventilation for batteries that are in
an enclosure. Follow the proper procedures in or-
der to help prevent electrical arcs and/or sparks
near batteries. Do not smoke when batteries are
serviced.
The battery cables or the batteries should not be
removed with the battery cover in place. The bat-
tery cover should be removed before any servic-
ing is attempted.
Removing the battery cables or the batteries with
the cover in place may cause a battery explosion
resulting in personal injury.
