Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:KEEP LIGHTED CIGARETTES,SPARKS,FLAMES
AWAY.EXPLOSION CAN RESULT FROM IMPROPER CHARGING AND IGHNITION OF
CHARGING GASES;ALSO IF CHARGED IN GAS TIGHT ENCLOSURES.
Spill Release Procedures:AVOID CONTACT WITH SULFURIC ACID ELECTROLYTE
FROM DAMAGED MATTERY. NEUTRALYZE WITH SOLUTION OF BAKING SODA IN
WATER. COLLECT NEUTRALIZED WASTE IN A SUITABLE CONTAINER FOR
DISPOSAL. DO NOT FLUSH LEAD C ONTAMINATED ACID TO SEWER.

FROM FIRE, SPARKS, AND HEAT. DO NOT OVERCHARGE. DO NOT SHORT
CIRCUIT BATTERY TERMINALS.KEE P BAKING SODA IN AREA FOR EMERGENCY
USE.
Respiratory Protection:NONE NORMALLY REQUIRED. WHEN CONCENTRATIONS OF
SULFURIC ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE NIOSH OR
MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST IS RECOMMENDED AT CHARGING STATIONS AND WHERE
