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
