WARNING
•
To avoid eye injury, eye protection is required when working around batteries. 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 terminal, 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.
