inspecting to ensure safe and correct
handling:

Always wear eye protection

when working near the battery:

Working without eye protection is
dangerous. Battery fluid contains
SULFURIC ACID which could cause
blindness if splashed into your eyes.
Also, hydrogen gas produced during
normal battery operation, could ignite
and cause the battery to explode.

battery can cause serious burns and
injuries. Keep all flames including
cigarettes and sparks away from open
