WARNING

Battery acid (electrolyte) is extremely

harmful. Always wear safety goggles

and rubber gloves when performing

battery maintenance. Severe injury will

result if acid contacts eyes or skin.

Failure to do so may result in injury to

personnel.

Do not smoke, have open flame, or make

sparks when performing battery

maintenance. Batteries may explode
