Precautions When Working With Batteries

Battery work and maintenance must be done by qualified

personnel knowledgeable about batteries to ensure compliance with battery

handling and maintenance safety precautions.

• Always wear proper, non-absorbent gloves, complete eye protection,

and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes and wiping your

forehead while working near batteries. See note #4.

• Remove all personal metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches

when wor

king with batteries. See notes #5 and #6 below.

• Never smoke or allow a spark or flam

e near the engine or batteries.

NOTES:

1. Mount and place the Freedom Xi Sine W

ave Inverter unit away from

batteries in a well ventilated compartment.

2. Always have someone within range o

f your voice or close enough to

come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

3. Always have plenty of fr

esh water and soap nearby in case battery acid

contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

4. If battery acid contacts skin or clot

hing, wash immediately with soap

and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running

cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention

immediately.

5. Use extra caution to reduce the risk

of dropping a metal tool on the

battery. It could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical

parts and could cause an explosion.

6. Batteries can produce a short circuit

current high enough to weld a ring

or metal bracelet or the like to the battery terminal, causing a severe

burn.

7. When removing a battery, always rem

ove the negative terminal from

the battery first for systems with grounded negative. If it is grounded

positive, remove the positive terminal first. Make sure all loads

connected to the battery and all accessories are off so you don’t cause

an arc.
