WARNING
To avoid injury, eye protection and acid-resistant gloves
must be worn when working around batteries. Do not
smoke, use open flame, make sparks or create other ignition
sources around batteries. If a battery is giving off gases, it
can explode and cause injury to personnel. Remove all jew-
elry such as rings, ID tags, watches, and bracelets. If jewelry
or a tool contacts a battery terminal, a direct short will result
in instant heating, damage to equipment, and injury to per-
sonnel.

If battery corrosion or electrolyte makes contact with skin,
eyes or clothing, take immediate action to stop the corrosive
burning effects. Failure to follow these procedures may
result in death or serious injury to personnel.

dry rag. Failure to do so may cause injury to personnel.
