WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS
DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.
FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT
IN THE VICINITY OF THEBATTERY, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a
lead-acid battery
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 min and get medical attention immediately.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery
or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
Remove 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.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
If necessary to remove battery from vessel, always remove grounded terminal from battery first. Make sure
all accessories in the vessels are off, so as not to cause an arc.
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from
coming in contact with eyes. Study all battery manufacturers specific precautions such as removing or not
removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
