2. Safety
DISCLAIMER: Installation of Simarine electronics should be made by
electrical specialists with proper safety equipment. When working
with batteries you should wear protective clothing and eye protection.
CAUTION: Batteries contain acid, a corrosive, colorless liquid that will burn
your eyes, skin and clothing. Should the acid
come in contact with eyes, skin or clothing, wash the area with fresh water
for at least 15 minutes, and seek
medical support immediately.
CAUTION: Do NOT connect anything to a damaged battery. It could heat
up, catch fire or explode.
CAUTION: Lead-acid Batteries can generate explosive gases during
operation. Never smoke, allow flames or sparks near
the battery. Make sure to keep sufficient ventilation around the battery.
CAUTION: When working with a battery remove all personal metal items
like watches, rings, necklaces and bracelets.
Metal items in contact with the battery terminals might cause a short circuit
with a very high electric current, which may heat
up and melt nearby objects and cause severe burns.
