Battery Safety
WARNING: Risk of electric shock
Read complete instructions prior to installation and operation.
1. Observe all safety regulations. Electrical wiring should be performed in accordance with all applicable national,
state and local codes to prevent damage to equipment and ensure personnel safety.
2. Hazardous voltages exist within enclosure. Installation and service should be performed only by trained
service personnel.
3. WARNING – Risk of explosive gasses. Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gasses during normal battery operation. During normal charging operation, some hydrogen gas is
released (vented) or diffused through the container walls. The VRLA batteries specified for this equipment are
designed to minimize gas produced. The gasses released or diffused must not be allowed to accumulate. The GoCartVac
enclosure has been designed to ensure proper ventilation of battery gasses.
4. WARNING – Risk of battery terminal shorting. The batteries specified for use in this equipment have very low internal
impedance and thus are capable of delivering high currents if externally short circuited. The resultant heat can cause
severe burns and is a potential fire hazard.
5. Particular caution should be used when replacing batteries. The person working near the open terminals of batteries
should avoid wearing metal rings or watchbands. It is a good practice to remove all metallic items such as watches,
bracelets and personal jewelry when working on or around battery terminals.
6. As a further precaution, when installing batteries or working on them, insulating gloves should be worn and
only insulated tools should be used to prevent accidental short circuits. Handle recharged batteries carefully as
they may be hot.
7. The batteries are interconnected with a Fusible Link for added safety. In the event this link is to be replaced,
only use Pro-Team approved replacement parts. Do not handle plug, batteries or appliance with wet hands.
8. Replacement batteries should be carefully inspected to installation. Particular attention should be given to ensure
that none of the cell cover seals have been broken, no battery case damage is evident and no visible sign of
battery leakage exists. If batteries leak fluid, change color, shape or change in any other way, DO NOT use them.
Battery Recycling - The Environmental Protection Agency requires the recycling of sealed lead batteries. Proper disposal and recycling
of batteries mandatory under the Mercury-Containing Rechargeable Battery Management Act, 42 U.S.C 14301-14336 (“Battery Act”).
The Charge Up to Recycle! Program offers various recycling plans for communities, retailers, businesses and public agencies. For more
information about the Charge Up to Recycle! Program, or for information about a local collection site visit www.rbrc.com or call RBRD’s
