PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR • INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or milk and immediately call a physician. • EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and seek prompt medical attention. Batteries produce explosive hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc., away from the battery and provide sufficient ventilation when charging it in an enclosed space. Take care not to spill electrolyte on the drive chain, as this may weaken it, shorten chain life and possibly result in an accident. KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

●
Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains sul-
furic acid, which causes severe
burns. Avoid any contact with
skin, eyes or clothing and al-
ways shield your eyes when
working near batteries. In case
of contact, administer the fol-
lowing FIRST AID.
•
EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
•
INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.
•
EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
●
Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed
space.
●
Take care not to spill electrolyte
on the drive chain, as this may
weaken it, shorten chain life and
possibly result in an accident.
