o Charge batteries only in a well ven- tilated area.
o Do not permit flames, sparks or smoking in the area.
o Keep children away from the area.G210B01HR-GET Checking the Battery Keep the battery clean. Any evidence of corrosion around the battery posts orterminals should be removed using a solution of household baking soda and warm water. After the battery terminalsare dry, cover them with a light coating of grease.
WARNING:Always read the following instructions carefully when handling a battery. Keep lighted cigarettes andall other flames or sparks away from the battery. Hydrogen, which is a highlycombustible gas, is always present in battery cells and may explode if ignited.Keep batteries out of the reach of children because batteries contain highly cor-rosive SULFURIC ACID. Do not allow battery acid to con- tact your skin, eyes, cloth-ing or paint finish. If any electrolyte gets intoyour eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and get immedi-ate medical attention.
