Safe Handling Procedure

Always wear acid-resistant clothing, PVC gloves, goggles and rubber boots – especially where there is risk of splashing. Always keep
the batteries in an upright position. Always have plenty of water available in case of acid spillage.

Inspection

Upon arrival, check the battery for visible damage (i.e. cracks, dents, deformation and other visible abnormalities). Verify connections,
assure that they are clean. If the battery is dirty, or if any minor amount of acid has spilled onto the case, check cleaning section. Any fl uid
on or around the battery could indicate that the case is not properly sealed. Please verify the polarity of the terminals. Please contact your
retailer or Rolls Battery Company Limited to determine if the battery needs replacement.

Installation

Rolls offers batteries for a wide variety of applications. No matter the application, always be certain that the battery is properly
secured, free of contaminants and that all connections are in good contact with the terminals. Contact your retailer or Rolls Battery
Company Limited for additional information.

Battery Orientation:

Flooded lead acid batteries must be kept in an upright position at all times. Electrolyte in the battery will spill if tilted.
