DANGER

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 optician.

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 that

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.
