CHECKING BATTERY (for Electric
start model)

Battery electrolytic fluid is dangerous; it
contains sulfuric acid and therefore is poi-
sonous and highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive mea-
sures:
8 Avoid bodily contact with electrolytic

fluid as it can cause severe burns or
permanent eye injury.

8 Wear protective eye gear when han-

dling or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):

8 SKIN - Flush with water.
8 EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes

and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):

8 Drink large quantities of water or milk

followed by milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate
medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive
hydrogen gas; therefore, you should
always follow these preventive mea-
sures:

8 Charge batteries in a well-ventilated

area.

8 Keep batteries away from fire, sparks,

or open flames (e.g., welding equip-
ment, lighted cigarettes, etc.).

8 DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-

dling batteries.

8 KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTIC

FLUID OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
