Batteries contain aggressive and caustic acids. Avoid battery
fluid coming into contact with your body (fig. 3, page 3). If your
skin does come into contact with battery fluid, wash the part of
your body in question thoroughly with water.

Prevent any metal parts from falling on the battery. This can
cause sparks or short-circuit the battery and other electrical
parts.

Make sure the polarity is correct when connecting the battery:
– red terminal: positive battery terminal

Wear goggles and protective clothing when you work on
batteries. Do not touch your eyes when you are working on the
battery.
Ensure the device is standing firmly.

The device and the batteries must be set up in such a way that
they cannot tip over or fall down.
Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer and those of
the manufacturer of the system or vehicle in which the battery is
used.
Never attempt to charge frozen batteries (fig. 4, page 3).
Do not smoke and ensure that no sparks can arise in the vicinity
of the battery (fig. 5, page 3).
If you need to remove the battery, first disconnect the earth
connection. Disconnect all connections and all consumers from
the battery before removing it.
