OPEN BATTERY BOX - Continued

electrical circuits, and cause a direct short, severe burns, or electrical

shock. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

WARNING

LEAD-ACID BATTERIES - Avoid battery electrolyte contact with

skin, eyes, or clothing. If battery electrolyte spills, take immediate

action to stop burning effects:

•

External - If battery electrolyte contacts skin, immediately flush

effected area with cold running water to remove all acid. Failure to

comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

•

Eyes - If battery electrolyte contacts eyes, immediately flush eyes

with cold water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

IMPORTANT - If only one eye is affected, ensure the affected eye is

always (during both flushing and transport) kept lower (the lower the

better) than unaffected eye. This will help keep affected eye from

draining into (and contaminating) the unaffected eye. Failure to

comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

•

Internal - If battery electrolyte is ingested (swallowed), drink large

amounts of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, a beaten egg,

or vegetable oil and seek immediate medical attention. Failure to

comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

•

Clothing or vehicle - Immediately flush area with cold water and

neutralize battery electrolyte with baking soda or household ammonia

solution. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

Disconnect two rubber hooks (1).
