PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

2.1 Consider having someone close enough by to come to your aid when you work
near a lead-acid battery.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing, or eyes.
2.3 Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while
working near battery.
2.4 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
2.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2.6 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.
2.7 Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
2.8 Use this charger for charging 24V LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is not intended
to supply power to a low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor
application. Do not use battery charger for charging dry-cell batteries that are
commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may burst and cause
injury to persons and damage to property.
2.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery.
