PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Wear complete eye and clothing protection when

working near lead-acid batteries. Always have

someone nearby for help.

• Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda

nearby, in case battery acid contacts your eyes,

skin or clothing. Wash immediately with soap and

water and seek medical attention.

• If battery acid comes into contact with eyes, ush

eyes immediately for at least 10 minutes and get

medical attention.

• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking

soda before attempting to clean up.

• Remove all personal metal items from your body,

such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches.

A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit

current high enough to weld a ring to metal,

causing a severe burn.

• Never smoke or allow a spark or ame in the

vicinity of the battery or engine.

• 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.

PREPARING TO TEST

• Be sure area around battery is well ventilated

while battery is being tested.

• Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep

corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.

• If the battery is not sealed, maintenance-free, add

distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches

level specied by battery manufacturer. This helps

purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overll.

• If necessary to remove battery from vehicle for

testing, always remove grounded terminal from

battery rst. Make sure all accessories in the

vehicle are off, so as not to cause an arc.
