• Lead-acid baeries release explosive gases during normal operaon, charging and jump starng.

• All lead-acid baeries (car, truck and boat) produce hydrogen gas which may violently explode in the presence of

ﬁre or sparks. Do not smoke, use matches or a cigaree lighter while near baeries. Only work with lead-acid

baeries in a well-venlated area. Do not handle the baery while wearing vinyl clothing because stac

electricity sparks are generated when vinyl clothing is rubbed.

• To reduce risk of baery explosion, follow these instrucons and those published by the baery manufacturer

and manufacturer of any equip

ment you intend to use in the vicinity of the baery. Review cauonary markings
