• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery,
engine or power station.
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can
cause injury to persons.
• 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 similar metal object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle. Friction can
cause dangerous static-electrical sparks.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and substantial, non-skid footwear are
recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
• Be extra careful to avoid dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
might spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part and
could cause an explosion.
