Technician Safety Information

CAUTION: Batteries produce explosive gases. Batteries contain corrosive acid. Batteries supply levels of electrical current high enough to cause burns. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of personal injury while working near a battery, observe the following guidelines:
^ Always shield your eyes.
^ Avoid leaning over the battery whenever possible.
^ Do not expose the battery to open flames or sparks.
^ Do not allow battery acid to contact the eyes or the skin.
- Flush any contacted areas with water immediately and thoroughly.
- Get medical help.

CAUTION: Batteries generate hydrogen gas which is extremely flammable and may explode violently if ignited by a spark or a flame. Battery acid is extremely corrosive and causes severe personal injury if the acid comes into contact with the skin- blindness if the acid comes into contact with the eyes. In order to avoid severe personal injury, use extreme precaution when servicing the battery or battery-related components.

NOTE: Do not use the boost, jump start, crank, or an equivalent setting that may be available on the battery charger for prolonged charging of the battery. Using such settings may damage the battery due to overheating, excessive gassing, or spewing of electrolyte from the vents.
