WARNING
LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
Avoid battery electrolyte contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. If battery electrolyte spills, take
the following immediate action to stop burning effects:
External - If battery electrolyte contacts skin, immediately flush affected area with cold running
water. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
Eyes - If battery electrolyte contacts eyes, immediately flush eyes with cold water for 15
minutes and seek immediate medical attention. IMPORTANT - If only one eye is affected,
ensure the affected eye is always kept lower than the unaffected eye, during both flushing
and transport. This will help keep the affected eye from draining into and contaminating the
unaffected eye. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
Internal - If battery electrolyte is ingested, drink large amounts of water or milk. Follow with
milk of magnesia, a beaten egg, or vegetable oil and seek immediate medical attention.
Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
Clothing or vehicle - Immediately flush area with cold water and neutralize battery electrolyte
with baking soda or household ammonia solution. Failure to comply may result in injury or
death to personnel.
