PRECAUTIONS:

Precautions:

1 CAUTION: Aircraft batteries are certified to have certain minimum capacity for emergency operations in the

event of an electrical generator system failure. Never “jump start” an aircraft that has a discharged or

“dead” battery.

2 WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Do not touch un-insulated portion of the connector or the battery

terminals. A possibility of serious electrical shock exists.

2 WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Do not lay tools or other metal objects on the battery as arcing or

explosion could occur. Remove conductive jewelry before working around battery, charger, or test

equipment.

3 CAUTION: ELECTRIC BURN HAZARD. Do not wear conductive rings, belt buckles, or other jewelry when

working with batteries, chargers, or test equipment. Do not lay tools or other metal objects on the battery

as arcing and severe burns could occur.

4 WARNING: Batteries on charge or discharge produce hydrogen gas, which can explode if ignited. Do not

smoke, use an open flame, or cause sparking near a battery. Charge, service or test a battery only in a well

ventilated area. The use of exhaust fans may reduce the risk of explosion.

5 WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric acid which will cause burns. DO NOT TOUCH EYES AFTER TOUCHING
