come to your aid when you work near a lead acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with
running cold water for at least ten minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or
engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the
battery. It could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical
parts and could cause an explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces
and watches when working with a lead acid battery. It can produce
a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal causing a severe burn.
PREPARING TO TEST :
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being
tested.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming
in contact with eyes.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If the
battery is damaged, do not use tester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in
each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the
manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not
overfill.
5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove
ground terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the
vehicle are off to ensure you do not cause any arcing.
