BATTERY SAFETY
FIG. 35: Electrical storage batteries give off highly
flammable hydrogen gas. Keep lighted smoking material
and open flame or electrical sparks away from the battery.
Do not lay tools or other conductive material on the
battery.
Be careful when connecting booster cables to batteries.
Electrical component damage or battery explosion can
result if booster cables are not installed correctly.
Do not charge a frozen battery as the battery can
explode. Warm battery to 16°C (60°F).
FIG. 36: Fluid in electrical storage batteries contains
sulfuric acid. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin or
clothing. If contact does occur, flush off immediately with
large amounts of water.
ACCUMULATOR SAFETY
FIG. 37: The accumulator is charged with dry nitrogen
gas. Use only dry nitrogen when charging the
accumulator. Do not use air or oxygen or an explosion will
occur.
Nitrogen gas when released can cause localized freezing.
Be sure to wear protective gloves and glasses when
handling nitrogen.
Do not drop the accumulator. A charged accumulator
contains nitrogen under pressure. If the charging valve
breaks away from the accumulator, the escaping nitrogen
will propel the accumulator at a high rate of speed.
