General

• Batteries contain diluted sulphuric acid.

• Wear protective gloves and goggles.

• If acid gets into your eyes or onto your skin or clothes, rinse them immediately
with water.

• Always see a doctor if you get acid in your eyes.

Batteries must be handled and stored in compliance with local regulations. Within
the EU there are manufacturer responsibility regulations for batteries. This means
that all Scania workshops are obliged to dispose of batteries responsibly and ensure
that they are recycled correctly.

General

The vehicle batteries contain lead. Lead is harmful to humans and the environment.
The batteries must therefore be handled in accordance with national regulations on
environmentally hazardous substances.

Be aware of the risks of short-circuiting when working near the battery terminals.
Use a lifting board for removing and replacing the batteries.
