Risk of fire and explosion!
Do not place tools or similar items on
the battery. Risk of short-circuit and ex-
plosion.
Smoking and open flames must be
strictly avoided.
Rooms where batteries are charged
must have good ventilation because
highly explosive gas is emitted during
charging.
Danger of causticization!
Use caution with leaking batteries (sul-
phuric acid may leak).
Risk of injury!
Ensure that wounds never come into
contact with lead. Always clean your
hands after working on batteries.

When used normally, and when observing
the instructions, lead-acid batteries do not
pose any risk.
However, keep in mind that lead-acid bat-
teries contain sulphuric acid which can
cause chemical burns and corrosion.
If there is spillage or, if the battery is
leaking, acid is escaping, lay down a
binding agent such as sand. Do not let
it reach the sewer system, soil or a body
of water.
Neutralise the acid with lime/baking
soda and dispose of it according to local
regulations.
Contact a waste management compa-
ny to dispose of faulty batteries.
Rinse thoroughly with lots of clear water
if acid gets into the eye or comes in con-
tact with the skin.
Then consult a doctor immediately.
Wash off the acid If it comes in contact
with the clothes.
Change clothing.
�
Warning
Regularly check the fluid level in acid-filled
batteries.
– The acid in a fully charged battery has a
specific weight of 1.28 kg/l at a temper-
ature of 20 °C.
– The acid in a partially discharged bat-
tery has a specific weight between 1.00
and 1.28 kg/l.
– The specific weight of the acid must be
uniform in all cells.
Unscrew all cell caps.
Take a sample from each cell using the
acid tester.
Put the acid sample back into the same
cell.
Where fluid level is too low, top up cells
to the mark provided with distilled wa-
ter.
