1. WARNING: Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection when working with lead-acid batteries.
2. Make sure someone is within range of your voice or close
enough to come to your aid when you work with or near a
lead-acid battery.
3. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use if battery
acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. If battery acid contacts
skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
4. Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery. Acid
particles (corrosion) may get into your eyes! If acid enters
your eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for
at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, and 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 severe burn.
6. Take care not to drop a metal tool or other metal onto the
battery. Metal may cause sparking or short circuit the battery
or another electrical device. Sparking may cause an
explosion.
7. Always operate battery charger in an open, well- ventilated
area.
8. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of
the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases!
9. NEVER allow children to charge the battery. Battery charging
must be done by adults only.

associated with accessories sold with this product, will
expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

not charge and replace immediately. If battery is hot, allow
it to cool before charging.
