Use extreme care when handling acid. If electrolyte is spilled or splashed onto clothing or the body, wash with water and neutralise with a solution of baking soda and water. Electrolyte splashed into eyes is extremely dangerous. If this occurs, gently open eyes and wash with cool clean water for 5 minutes. Call a doctor. |

Drink large quantities of water or milk and follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten eggs or vegetable oil. Call a doctor. |
 |
Always add concentrated acid to water - never water to acid. Store electrolyte in plastic containers with sealed cover. Do not store in the sun. |

Batteries generate explosive gases during vehicle operation and when charged separately. Flames, sparks, burning cigarettes or other ignition sources must be kept away at all times. |
 |
When charging batteries, work in a well ventilated area - never in a closed room. Always turn the battery charger or the ignition off before disconnecting a battery. |
