BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of
poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
Wear protective eye gear when handling
G
or working near batteries.
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
G
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
G
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
G
dling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
G
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
G
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
Skin — Wash with water.
G
Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes
G
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
G
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.
CAUTION:
Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batteries.
The MF battery should be charged as
explained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.
