● DO NOT make sparks or use an open flame near the battery.
● When disconnecting battery terminals, remove the Negative (-) cable first; then remove the Positive (+). When
connecting cables, connect the Positive (+) first, then connect the Negative (-).
● Disconnect the battery (both terminals) before welding on any part of the machine. Failure to do so may cause
damage to sensitive electrical components.
● BATTERY ACID CAUSES SEVERE BURNS. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or
clothing. Antidote: EXTERNAL - flush with water. INTERNAL - Drink large quantities of water or milk. DO NOT
induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical
attention immediately. BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES. Keep sparks, flame, cigars and cigarettes
away. Ventilate when charging or using in enclosed area. Always wear eye protection when working near
batteries. Wash hands after handling. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
● When working around storage batteries, remember that all of the exposed metal parts are “live”. Never lay a
metal object across the terminals because a spark, short circuit, explosion or personal injury may result.
● Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
