Important Safety Instructions
15. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
a. Consider having someone close enough or within the range of your voice to come to your
aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b. Have plenty of soap, water and baking soda nearby in case battery acid comes in contact
with skin, clothes or eyes.
c. Wear complete eye protection, hand and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near a battery.
d. 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 15 minutes and get
medical attention immediately.
e. NEVER smoke, strike a match or cause a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine. f.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or
short-circuit a battery or other electrical hardware which may cause an explosion or fire.
g. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, and jewelry
when working near a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to
weld a ring or any other metal, causing serious burns.
h. Use charger for charging a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to
a low voltage electrical system other than in a start-motor application. Do not use battery
charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances.
These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
i. NEVER charge a frozen, damaged or leaking battery.
j. Keep other persons, children and pets away from batteries and your charger during
operation to avoid serious injury, death, fire or explosion.
