1.2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A BATTERY EXPLOSION. RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.

1. Explosive gases can be emitted during the charging duration.

2. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.

3. Never charge a frozen battery.

4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when
