BATTERY
DANGER
Battery electrolyte is toxic, caustic and the
contact with the skin may cause serious burns,
since it contains sulfuric acid. Wear protective
clothing, a face shield and/or tight fitting goggles
when working around the battery. In case of
contact with the skin, flush immediately with
plenty of water.
In case of contact with the eyes, flush with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediately
consult an optician.
If the electrolyte is accidentally swallowed, drink
large quantities of water or milk, and then milk
of magnesia or vegetable oil. Immediately consult
a health professional. The battery gives off
noxious and explosive gases; keep it away from
cigarettes, flames, sparks and any other source
of heat. During the recharging or the use, make
sure that the room is properly ventilated and
avoid inhaling the gases released during the
recharging. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Do
not tip the vehicle too much, or tip the battery
too much, to avoid electrolyte leaking out.
CAUTION
The battery liquid is corrosive. Do not pour or
sprinkle it, particularly on plastic parts. When the
battery has been removed it must be placed in a
safe place out of the reach of children. The battery
is very dangerous and may cause serious injury
or death.
