3.4 Safety precautions when handling batteries
WARNING! Risk of injury
Batteries contain aggressive and caustic acids. Avoid battery fluid coming into contact with your body.
If your skin does come into contact with battery fluid, wash that part of your body thoroughly with
water. If you sustain any injuries from acids, contact a doctor immediately.
When working on batteries, do not wear any metal objects such as watches or rings. Lead acid batteries
can cause short circuits which can cause serious injuries.
Only use insulated tools.
Do not place any metal parts on the battery and prevent any metal parts from falling on the battery. This
can cause sparks or short-circuits the battery and other electrical devices.
Wear goggles and protective clothing when working on batteries. Do not touch your eyes when
working on batteries.
Only use rechargeable batteries.

the battery has acclimatised to the ambient temperature. Then start the charging process.
Do not smoke, use an open flame, or cause sparking near the engine or a battery.
Keep the battery away from heat sources.
NOTICE! Damage hazard
Ensure that the polarity is correct when connecting the battery.
Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer and those of the manufacturer of the system or
