Ventilation When Charging Batteries

Failure to provide adequate ventilation while
charging batteries can result in an explosion.
Volatile hydrogen gas is emitted during charging
and may accumulate in pockets at the ceiling.
• Always ensure a minimum of 5 air changes per
hour in the charging area.
• Always remove any storage covers from the
vehicle and open any cab doors (if equipped)
before charging.
