General notes on handling batteries

WARNING!
Batteries can be hazardous
Batteries contain an acid solution which is poisonous and corrosive. Above all avoid
any contact with battery acid.
Dispose of used battery acid in accordance with regulations.
Always wear protective clothing and goggles when working with batteries.
Do not let battery acid come into contact with skin, clothing or eyes. If necessary,
rinse with plenty of clean water.
In the event of physical damage (e.g. skin or eye contact with battery acid) call for
a doctor immediately.
Spilled battery acid should be neutralised immediately with plenty of water.
Only batteries with a sealed battery container may be used.
Follow national guidelines and legislation.
WARNING!
Using unsuitable batteries can cause accidents
The weight and dimensions of the battery have a considerable effect on the
operational safety and capacity of the industrial truck. Changing the battery features
requires the manufacturer's approval, as compensating weights are required if
smaller batteries are fitted. When replacing/installing the battery make sure the
battery is securely located in the battery compartment of the truck.
Park the truck securely before carrying out any work on the batteries ((see "Parking
the truck securely" on page 99)).
