nal could result in personal injury and/or dam-
age to the electrical system.

Wear safety goggles, a face shield and rubber
gloves when working with electrolyte. Charge

produced while charging can dissipate. Since
the gases are explosive, keep open flames and
electrical sparks away from the battery; do not
smoke. Nausea may result if the gases are in-
haled. Unplug battery charger from electrical
outlet before connecting or disconnecting
charger leads to or from battery terminals.
