Important Safety Precautions 
WARNING: Full voltage and current are always present at 
the battery terminals. Batteries can produce dangerous 
voltages, extremely high currents, and possible risk of 
electric shock. Batteries may cause severe injury if the 
terminals are shorted together or to ground (earth). 
Observe the following protective procedures during installation: 
  Wear protective clothing, eyewear, rubber gloves, and boots. 
Batteries contain corrosive acids or caustic alkalis and toxic 
materials and can rupture or leak. 
  Remove all jewelry, and remove all metal objects from your pockets. 
Jewelry and objects could fall onto the batteries or inside the battery 
cabinet. 
  Use only tools with insulated handles, so they will not short battery 
terminals. Do not place tools or other items on top of the batteries or 
anywhere they could fall onto the batteries or inside the battery 
cabinet. 
  Prohibit smoking and open flames. 
  Ensure that the load test leads are clean, in good condition, and 
connected with a sufficient length of cable to prevent accidental 
arcing in the vicinity of the battery. 
  Ensure that all connections to load test equipment include short-
circuit protection. 
  Ensure that battery area ventilation is adequate.
