Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, open flames, cigarettes, etc.
away. Ventilate when charging or using in closed space. Always shield eyes
when working near batteries.
Battery Fluid
A poorly maintained battery will
deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery
fluid level often. Maintain the fluid
level between the upper and lower
level marks.
NOTICE: Tap water contains minerals
that will damage a battery and
shorten its life. Use only distilled
water to refill your battery.
Never allow cleaning solution or
tap water to enter the battery.
Battery Connections
Keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. When clean-
ing is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash ter-
minals and connections with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda
and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry with clean shop
towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
