Personal Precautions
1. Someone should be within range of your voice to come to your aid when you work near batteries.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near
batteries. Wash your hands when done.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eyes,
immediately flood eyes with running cool water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
5. Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte. Keep a supply on hand in the area of the
batteries.
6. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery or generator.
7. Be extra cautious when working with metal tools on, and around batteries. Potential exists to
short-circuit the batteries or other electrical parts which may result in a spark which could cause an
explosion.
8. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with
battery. Battery can produce short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or the like, to metal
causing severe burns.
9. If a remote or automatic generator start system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit and/or
disconnect the generator from its starting battery while servicing to prevent accidental starting during
servicing.
