IF BATTERY SYSTEM IS GROUNDED (system is intentionally grounded by connecting a
battery terminal to ground):
1. a shock hazard exists between all other terminals and
ground (i.e., dirt and acid on top of battery cell touching
rack).
2. if an unintentional ground develops within the already
grounded system, a short circuit may occur and cause
explosion or fire.
IF BATTERY SYSTEM IS UNGROUNDED (system is NOT grounded):
1. if an unintentional ground develops within the system, an
increased shock hazard exists between the terminals and
ground.
2. if a second unintentional ground develops within the already
unintentionally grounded system, a short circuit may occur
and cause explosion or fire.
Therefore, should you be required to work on a grounded battery system, make absolutely sure
you use the correct safety precautions, equipment and clothing.
IMPORTANT!!
If you have ANY question concerning safety when working with the battery system, contact your
local EnerSys sales/service representative to clarify any of the noted safety precautions, or, call
the corporate office number listed on the back of this manual and ask for EnerSys
®
Service.
