INDEX
Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The
battery recharging operation must be performed
in a ventilated place, away from naked flames
or possible sources of sparks to avoid the risk
of explosion and fire.
WARNING
Don’t try to recharge a frozen battery: If
the battery was frozen, have it inspected
by specialised personnel before recharging to
check that the internal elements are not damaged
and that the casing is not cracked, which causes
the risk of leakage of poisonous, corrosive gas.
