WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce explosive gases. Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not allow the battery to come in
contact with flames, sparks or burning substances. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Shield eyes when working near the battery to
protect against possible splashing of acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin or eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15
minutes, then get prompt medical attention. If acid is swallowed, call a physician immediately. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
