Battery Safety Warning
General Precautions:
Before working with batteries make sure you are
aware of all the safety precautions.Make sure
the engine, lights and any accessories are turned
off before removing old battery.
Check if vehicle has a computerised electrical
system. Vehicles with on board computer systems
require an alternative power source to maintain
electronic memory when battery is disconnected.
 |
Keep open flames and
sparks away from the battery. |
 |
Keep vent caps in place. |
 |
Charge in well ventilated
area. |
 |
Make sure
cables are away from fan blades andother
movingvehicle
parts. |

Manufacturers Instruction
Always follow any instructions supplied with the
battery or printed on the battery.
Battery Fluid can cause burns
Use extreme care when handling Battery Fluid.
If electrolyte is spilled or splashed onto clothing
or the body, wash with water and neutralize 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.
Always shield eyes when working near batteries:
When charging batteries, work in a well ventilated
area - never in a closed room. Always turn the
battery charger or ignition off before disconnecting
a battery.
If electrolyte is swallowed:
Drink large quantities of water or milk and
follow with milk or magnesia, beaten eggs or
vegetable oil. Call a doctor immediately.
Exploding Battery:
Batteries generate explosive gasses during vehicle
operation and when being charged. Flames, sparks,
burning cigarettes or other ignition sources
must be kept away at all times.
Vehicles fitted with an Air Bag:
Removal or replacement of battery terminals
will not unintentionally trigger an air bag
system. However removal of battery terminals
with the ignition remaining "on" can
cause damage to electronic components, including
the SRS - always check to ensure that the ignition
is "off" before removing either of
the battery terminals.
Before carrying out any work on the electrical
system beyond the battery, the air bag system
must be electrically disabled. Never indiscriminately
probe the electrical wiring/connectors in the
vicinity of the steering column. The wiring
and harness connectors of most air bag systems
are bright yellow; do not interfere with any
harness of this colour. As an added safety measure
it is recommended that no person should remain
seated behind the steering wheel while any electrical
service work is carried out on the vehicle.

If terminal
clamps or cables are badly corroded, they
should be replaced. |

Check clearances
over the battery to avoid shorts when the
bonnet is closed. |
| |
 |
Place and
tighten hold downs securely so that the
battery cannot move in the tray.
|
| |
 |
Replace
cables ensuring that the ground terminal
is connected last. Tighten connections.
