PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY:
2.1 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
2.2 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 to
metal, causing a severe burn.
2.3 Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the
battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical
part that may cause an explosion.
2.4 Do not permit the internal battery of the unit to freeze. Never charge a
frozen battery.
2.5 To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or
contact the same piece of metal.
2.6 Consider having someone nearby to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
2.7 Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in
case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing.
2.8 Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles
and protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near
the battery.
2.9 If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash
the area with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately
flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention right away.
2.10 If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs
or water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
2.11 Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting
to clean up.
