EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD
1. Follow all instructions published by the battery manufacturer and the
manufacturer of the equipment in which the battery is installed.
2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or batteries.
4. Use caution to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool on the battery,
which could spark or short circuit the battery or other electrical parts
and could cause an explosion.
5. Remove metal items like rings, bracelets, and watches when working
with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, and thus cause
a severe burn.
6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal
from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t
cause a spark.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious
injury.
