Battery Safety

Batteries contain acid. Always wear protective
clothing and eyewear when working with batteries.
Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking soda and water.
Do not expose the batteries or the charger to water
or rain during charging.
Explosion Hazards
Keep sparks, flames
and lighted tobacco
away from batteries.
Batteries emit an
explosive gas.
The battery tray should
remain open during the
entire charging cycle.
Do not contact the battery terminals or the cable
clamps with tools that may cause sparks.
Component Damage Hazard
Do not use any battery charger greater than 24V to
charge the batteries.
Electrocution Hazards
Connect the battery charger to a
grounded, AC 3-wire electrical
outlet only.
Inspect daily for damaged cord,
cables and wires. Replace
damaged items before
operating.
Avoid electrical shock from contact with battery
terminals. Remove all rings, watches and other
jewelry.
Tip-over Hazard
