9. WARNING – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES.

a) WORKING IN VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY IS

DANGEROUS. BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASSES DURING

NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF

UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE USING YOUR

CHARGER, YOU READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE

INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.

b) To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and

those published by battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any

equipment you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review cautionary

marking on these products and on engine.

10. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

a) Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to

come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid

contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid

toughing eyes while working near battery.

d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with

soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with

running cold water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention

immediately.

e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or

engine.

f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto

battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part

that may cause explosion.

g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,

and watches when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid

battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a

ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.

being charged. Gas can be forcefully blown away by using a piece of

cardboard or other nonmetallic material as a fan.

c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from

coming in contact with eyes.

d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level

specified by battery manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas

from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully

follow manufacturer’s recharging instructions.

e) Study all battery manufacturer’s specific precautions such as

removing or not removing cell caps while charging and recommended

rates of charge.

f) Determine voltage of battery and make sure it matches the output

rating of the battery charger.

12. CHARGER LOCATION
