ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BURN FROM HIGH SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT, FIRE OR
EXPLOSION FROM VENTED GASES. FOLLOW PROPER PRECAUTIONS.
 Someone should be within range of your voice to come to your aid if needed.
 Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
 Wear complete eye protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries. Wash your hands with
soap and warm water when done.
 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters an eye,
flood the eye with running cool water at once for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention
immediately following.
 Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte. Keep a supply on hand in the area of the batteries.
 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery or generator.
 Be cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto batteries. It could short the batteries or other
electrical parts that can result in fire or explosion.
 Never wear metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery or
other electrical circuits. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the
like to metal, causing severe burns.
