Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Therefore, do not allow flames, sparks or lighted substances
to come near the battery. When charging or working near a battery, always shield your face and protect your eyes. Always provide
ventilation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
-
Keep out of the reach of children. Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Also, shield your eyes when
working near the battery to protect against possible splashing of the acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
