BATTERY
Battery electrolyte is toxic, caustic and the contact
with the skin may cause serious burns, since it
contains sulfuric acid. Wear protective clothing, a
face shield and/or tight fitting goggles when
working around the battery. In case of contact with
the skin, flush immediately with plenty of water.
In case of contact with the eyes, flush with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediately
consult an oculist.
If the electrolyte is accidentally swallowed, drink
large quantities of water or milk, and then milk of
magnesia or vegetable oil. Immediately consult a
health professional. The battery gives off noxious
and explosive gases; keep it away from cigarettes,
flames, sparks and any other source of heat.
During the recharging or the use, make sure hat
the room is properly ventilated and avoid inhaling
the gases released during the recharging.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Do not tip the vehicle too much, or tip the battery
too much, to avoid electrolyte leaking out.
The battery liquid is corrosive. Do not pour or
sprinkle it, particularly on plastic parts. When the
battery has been removed it must be placed in a
safe place out of the reach of children. The battery
is very dangerous and may cause serious injury
or death.
INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING
