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 bat-
teries. If a battery is giving off gases, it can explode and cause
injury. Remove all jewelry 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.
Sulfuric acid contained in batteries can cause serious burns. 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 cause injury or
death or serious injury to personnel.
Do NOT use compressed air to clean batteries. Use a clean, dry
rag.
