OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH
TIME BEFORE USING YOUR CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you
intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary marking on these products
and on engine.
10. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts
skin, clothing, or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
while working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause
explosion.

watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce
a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a
