WARNING
To avoid eye injury, eye protection is required when working around bat-
teries. DO NOT smoke, use open flame, make sparks, or create other
ignition sources around batteries. If a battery is giving off gases, it can
explode and cause injury to personnel. Remove all jewelry such as rings,
ID tags, watches, and bracelets. If jewelry or a tool contacts a battery ter-
minal, a direct short will result in instant heating, injury to personnel, and
damage to equipment.
Sulfuric acid contained in batteries can cause serious burns. If battery
corrosion or electrolyte makes contact with skin, eyes, or clothing, take
immediate action to stop the corrosive burning effects. Failure to follow
these procedures may result in death or serious injury to personnel.
