Personal Precautions
1. Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection. Avoid touching eyes when working near
batteries.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby, in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
3. Someone should be within range of your voice or
close enough to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
4. Avoid touching eyes while working with battery. If
acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running
cold water for 15—30 minutes and get medical
attention immediately. If battery acid contacts skin
or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
5. Batteries generate explosive gases! NEVER smoke
or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or
engine. Always operate battery charger in an open,
well ventilated area.
6. Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical
part that may cause an explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings,
bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working
near a lead-acid battery.
8. Use the battery charger for charging LEAD-ACID
batteries only. The charger is not intended to supply
power to a low voltage electrical system other than
in a starter-motor application. Do not use the
battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that
are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons or
damage to property.
9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
10. Never allow battery acid to drip on charger when
reading specific gravity or filling battery.
11. Never set battery on top of battery charger.
12. Neutralize acid spills thoroughly with baking soda
before attempting to clean up.
