IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Observe all safety regulations.
2. Hazardous voltages exist within enclosure. Installation and service should be performed
only by trained service personnel.
5. Batteries to be replaced only by trained service personnel.
6. Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near batteries.
Remove all jewelry. Do not put tools or other metal across the battery terminals,
or the tops of the batteries.
WARNING WARNING: Risk of electric shock
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation.
BATTERY RECYCLING
The Environmental Protection Agency requires the recycling of sealed lead
batteries. Proper disposal and recycling of batteries mandatory under the
Mercury-Containing Rechargeable Battery Management Act, 42 U.S.C
14301-14336 (“Battery Act”). The Charge Up to Recycle! Program offers
various recycling plans for communities, retailers, businesses and public
agencies. For more information about the Charge Up to Recycle! Program, or for
information about a local collection site visit www.rbrc.com or call RBRD’s toll free
number 1-800-8-BATTERY.
WARNING
3. Risk of explosive gasses. Working in the vicinity of a
lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explo-
sive gasses during normal battery operation. During
normal charging operation, some hydrogen gas is
released (vented) or diffused through the container
walls. The VRLA batteries specified for this equipment
are designed to minimize gas produced. The gasses
released or diffused must not be allowed to accumulate.
The GoCartVac enclosure has been designed to ensure
proper ventilation of battery gasses.
4. Risk of battery terminal shorting. The batteries specified
for use in this equipment have very low internal imped-
ance and thus are capable of delivering high currents if
externally short circuited. The resultant heat can cause
severe burns and is a potential fire hazard.
