Safety<br />
Warning<br />
Lead-acid batteries produce flammable and<br />
potentially explosive gases. To avoid death or serious<br />
injury when checking, testing, or charging batteries:<br />
• DO NOT use smoking materials near batteries.<br />
• Keep arcs, sparks, and open flames away from<br />
batteries.<br />
• Provide ventilation for flammable vapors.<br />
• Wear proper personal protective equipment,<br />
including safety glasses.<br />
Fluid in electric storage batteries contains sulfuric<br />
acid, which is poison and could cause severe chemical<br />
burns. Avoid all contact of fluid with eyes, skin,<br />
or clothing. Use protective gear when handling<br />
batteries. DO NOT tip a battery beyond a 45° angle in<br />
any direction.<br />
If contact does occur, follow these First Aid<br />
suggestions:<br />
• External contact - Flush with water.<br />
• Eyes - Flush with water (including under the eyelids)<br />
for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention<br />
immediately. Flushing must begin immediately to<br />
avoid permanent eye tissue damage.<br />
• Internal contact - Drink large quantities of water<br />
or milk to dilute stomach contents. Do not induce<br />
vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.<br />
Important - In case of internal contact, do not give<br />
fluids that induce vomiting.<br />
Warning<br />
Wear eye protection when starting a<br />
forklift with jump start cables. Improper<br />
jump start procedures could cause the<br />
battery to explode, which could result in<br />
death or serious injury.<br />
• Never jump start a frozen battery, as it can explode.<br />
Let the battery thaw out before charging.<br />
• NEVER jump start the forklift when travel select<br />
lever is in gear, which can cause the forklift to lurch<br />
forward or backward, and could result in death,<br />
serious injury, or property damage.<br />
• To avoid injury or death when jump starting with<br />
another forklift, make sure the two (2) forklifts are<br />
not touching.<br />
• DO NOT allow jump start cable ends to contact each<br />
other.<br />
• Connect charged battery positive (+) to stalled<br />
battery positive (+).<br />
• Connect charged battery negative (–) to stalled<br />
forklift ground. Make the connection to the stalled<br />
forklift ground last.<br />
• Connect jump start cable to stalled forklift ground<br />
a safe distance from the battery to prevent sparks<br />
near the battery.<br />
• Jump start only with a power source with the same<br />
voltage as the stalled forklift.<br />
• Turn off all lights and accessories on the stalled<br />
forklift to prevent them from operating when the<br />
power source is connected.<br />
• Electrolyte contains acid and could cause serious<br />
personal injury if it contacts the skin or eyes.<br />
