Dangerous
hydrogen gas
can be released from batteries while
charging. Sparks can ignite the gas
in an enclosed space. Wear safety
goggles when connecting batteries.
Battery connections should be made
in a well-ventilated area.
Working in
the vicinity of
lead acid batteries can be dangerous.
Before making connections or
servicing the batteries, read and
follow instructions in all applicable
instruction manuals. To reduce the
risk of battery explosion, follow
the instructions in this manual and
those published by the battery
manufacturer, as well as those of
any other equipment used in the
surrounding area.

Wear .eye .and .clothing .protection .
when .working .around .lead .acid .
batteries . .
Avoid .touching .your .eyes .when .
working .around .lead .acid .batteries .
If battery acid
contacts your
eye(s), flush with cold running
water for 20 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention. If acid
contacts your skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water.
Never smoke or
