Precautions When Working With Batteries

1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer
of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
4. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery. It could spark
or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
5. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-
acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough to
weld metal, causing a severe skin burn.
6. Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work near a lead-acid battery.
7. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
8. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes
while working near batteries.
9. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If
acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at least
twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.
10. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the negative (ground) terminal from
the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don't cause a spark.
