11. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
a) Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b) Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing,
or eyes.
c) Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near battery.
d) If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
e) NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine
and
NE JAMAIS FUMER PRÈS DE LA BATTERIE OU DU MOTEUR ET ÉVITER TOUTE
ÉTINCELLE OU FLAMME NUE À PROXIMITÉ DE CES DERNIERS.
f) Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or
short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
g) Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when
working with lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or similar metal items, causing a severe burn.
h) Use charger for charging a LEAD ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power
to a low voltage electrical system other than in starter-motor application. Do not use
battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home
appliances. These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to
property.
i) NEVER charge a frozen battery.
12. PREPARING TO CHARGE
a) If it is necessary to remove battery from vehicle to charge, always remove grounded
terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off, so as not to
cause an arc.
b) Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being charged. Gas can
be forcefully blown away by using a piece of cardboard or other non-metallic material as
a fan.
c) Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
d) Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cell. Do not overfill. For a battery
without cell-caps, carefully follow manufacturers recharging instructions.
e) Study all battery manufacturer‘s specific precautions such as removing or not removing
cell caps while charging and recommended rates of charge.
f) Determine voltage of battery by referring to car owner‘s manual and make sure it
matches output rating of battery charger.
