Batteries
WARNING
Risk of chemical burns.
The battery electrolyte contains corrosive sulphuric
acid which could cause severe chemical burns.
If electrolyte spilled on your bare skin, remove it
immediately and wash the affected area with soap
and plenty of water. If it gets into your eyes or any
other sensitive body part, rinse with plenty of water
and seek immediate medical attention.
Do not smoke near batteries as these give off
explosive gases.
Make sure that metal objects, for example tools,
rings and watch straps, do not come into contact
with the battery pole studs.
Make sure the protections are always installed
over the battery pole studs.
Do not tilt a battery in any direction. Battery
electrolyte may leak out.
Do not connect a discharged battery in series with
a fully charged battery. Risk for explosion.
When removing a battery, disconnect the ground
cable first and when installing, connect the
ground cable last in order to reduce the risk of
sparks.
Discarded batteries must be taken care of
according to national environmental
requirements.
