WHEN STORING GASOLINE OR EQUIPMENT WITH
FUEL IN TANK
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, clothes
dryers or other appliances that have pilot light or other
ignition source because they can ignite gasoline vapors.
DANGER

during recharging.
Hydrogen gas stays around battery for a long
time after battery has been charged.
Slightest spark will ignite hydrogen and cause
explosion.
You can be blinded or severely injured.
Battery electrolyte fluid contains acid and is
extremely caustic.
