BATTERY INFORMATION
A. Battery acid must be handled with great care as
contact with it can burn and blister the skin. It is
also advisable to wear protective clothing (gog-
gles, rubber gloves and apron) when working
with it.
B. Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the
eyes or onto the face, rinse the affected area
immediately with clean cold water. If there is any
further discomfort, seek prompt medical atten-
tion.
C. If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean
water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/
water or baking soda/water.
D. Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it into
any sink or drain. Before discarding empty elec-
trolyte containers, rinse them with a neutralizing
solution.
E. NEVER connect or disconnect charger clips to
battery while charger is turned on as it can cause
sparks.
F. Keep all lighted materials (cigarettes, matches,
lighters) away from the battery as the hydrogen
gas generated during charging can be combusti-
ble.
G. As a further precaution, only charge the battery
in a well-ventilated area.
*Always shield eyes, protect skin and clothing
when working near batteries.
WARNING
Battery contains sulfuric acid. Refer to warning
at right. Antidote: EXTERNAL—Flush with water.
INTERNAL—Drink large quantities of water or milk.
Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten eggs or
vegetable oil. Call physician immediately. EYES:

Since batteries produce explosive gases, keep
all lighted materials (cigarettes, lighters,
matches, etc.) away. Be sure to charge battery
only in well-ventilated areas. Make certain venting
path of battery drain tube (if equipped) is always
open.
