 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters an eye,
flood the eye with running cool water at once for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention
immediately following.
 Baking soda neutralizes lead acid battery electrolyte. Keep a supply on hand in the area of the batteries.
 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of a battery or generator.
 Be cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto batteries. It could short the batteries or other
electrical parts that can result in fire or explosion.
 Never wear metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery or
other electrical circuits. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the
like to metal, causing severe burns.
