Precautions When Working With Batteries

1. Follow all instructions published by the battery

manufacturer and the manufacturer of the equipment in

which the battery is installed.

2. Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.

3. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame near the engine or

batteries.

4. Be careful not to drop a metal object on the battery or

allow a metal tool to simultaneously touch the positive

and negative cable ends or battery terminals. It might

spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts

and cause an explosion.

5. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,

necklaces, and watches when working with a lead-acid

battery. A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit

current high enough to weld a ring or other similar

objects to metal, causing a severe burn.

6. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the

positive terminal from the battery first. Make sure all

accessories are off so you don’t cause an arc.

7. Someone should be within range of your voice, or close

enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-

acid battery.

8. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case

battery acid contacts skin, clothing, and eyes.

9. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection.

Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.
