=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: SULFURIC ACID: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY.
    IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. LEAD: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE,
    GARGLE, WASH NOSE AND LIPS; CONSULT PHYSICIAN. INGESTION: SULFURIC
    ACID:  GIVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER; DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING;
    CONSULT PHYSICIAN. LEAD: CONSULT PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. SKIN:
    SULFURIC ACID: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES; REMOVE  CONTAMINATED CLOTHING COMPLETELY, INCUDING SHOES.
    LEAD: WASH IMMEDIATELY WITH SOAP AND WATER. EYES: SULFURIC ACID AND
    LEAD: FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT LEAST 15
    MINUTES; CONSU LT PHYSICIAN.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Lower Limits:4.1%
Upper Limits:74.2%
Extinguishing Media:CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT . IF BATTERIES ARE ON CHARGE, SHUT OFF POWER. WATER
    APPLIED TO ELECTROLYTE GENERATES HEAT AND CAUSES IT TO SPATTER.
    WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHI NG.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HIGHLY FLAM HYDROGEN GAS GENERATED DURING
    CHARGING & OPERATION OF BATTERIES. TO AVOID RISK OF  FIRE/EXPLO
    RISK KEEP SPKS/OTHER IGNIT SOURCES AWAY FROM BATTERIES. DO NOT
    ALLOW METALLIC MATLS TO SIMULTA NEOUSLY CONTACT NEGATIVE & POS
    TERMINALS OF CELLS & BATTERIES. FOLLOW MFR'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR
    INSTALLATION & SERVICE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:STOP FLOW OF MATERIAL, CONTAIN/ABSORB SPILLS
    WITH DRY SAND, EARTH, VERMICULITE. DO NOT USE COMBUSTIBLE
    MATERIALS. IF POSSIBLE, CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE
    WITH SODA ASH, SODIUM BICARBONAT E, LIME, ETC.  WEAR ACID-RESIST
    CLOTHING, BOOTS, GLOVES AND FACE SHIELD. DO NOT ALLOW DISCHARGE OF
    UNNEUTRALIZED ACID TO SEWER.
Neutralizing Agent:CAREFULLY NEUTRALIZE SPILLED ELECTROLYTE WITH SODA
    ASH, SODIUM BICARBONATE, LIME, ETC.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE BATTERIES IN COOL, DRY,
    WELL-VENT AREAS W/IMPERVIOUS SURFS & ADEQ CONTAINMENT IN EVENT OF
    SPILLS. BATTERIES SHOULD ALSO BE STORED UNDER ROOF FOR PROT AGAINST
    ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. SEPARATE  FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATLS.
    STORE & HANDLE ONLY IN AREAS W/ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND SPILL
    CONTROL.
Other Precautions:AVOID DMG TO CONTAINERS. KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE, SPARKS
    & HEAT. PRECAUTIONARY LABELING: POISON-CAUSES SEVERE BURNS.
    DANGER-CONTAINS SULFURIC ACID. OTHER REGULATORY INFO: NFPA HAZARD

    CONCENTRATIONS OF SULFURIC ACID MIST ARE KNOWN TO EXCEED PEL, USE
    NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
Ventilation:STORE & HANDLE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. IF MECHANICAL
    VENTILATION IS USED, COMPONENTS MUST BE ACID-RESISTANT.

    CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING AND BOOTS.
Work Hygienic Practices:HANDLE BATTERIES CAUTIOUSLY TO AVOID SPILLS.
    MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID CONTACT W/INTERNAL
    COMPONENTS. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN FILLING OR HANDLING
    BATTERIES.
