BATTERY

Battery electrolyte is toxic, caustic and contact with the skin may cause serious burns due to the 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 ophthalmologist. If the electrolyte is accidentally swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk, 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 recharging or use, make sure that the room is properly ventilated and avoid inhaling the gases released during the recharging process. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Do not tilt either the vehicle or battery too much to avoid electrolyte from leaking out.

CAUTION

The battery fluid is corrosive. Do not pour or spray 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.
