1.3 Warning instructions and safety pre‐
cautions when working on the battery
WARNING
Persons under supervision e.g. apprentices or trainees
must work with vehicle batteries only under the super‐
vision of skilled labourers e.g. mechanics/teachers or
electricians/teachers.
Battery acid is highly caustic. There is a risk that in case
of incorrect work on the battery, the personnel can be
exposed to the harmful effect of the battery acid. There‐
fore suitable agents against acid causticization should
be made available. A suitable agent is, for example,
detergent.
If battery acid flows out this could lead to causticization
of the skin, acid seizure and vehicle corrosion. Under
some circumstances, components which are important
for the safety of the vehicle could be damaged.
The detonating gas which results during the charging
and also partially when the battery is at rest, is explosive
when degassing after the charge. In an extreme case,
the battery can explode due to escaping gases as a
result of incorrect work on the battery.
Battery with colourless or bright yellow magic eye must
be replaced. It must not be subjected to any test or
charge and no starting aid must be performed. There is
a risk of explosion when testing, charging or performing
a starting aid.
It is prohibited to create sparks through grinding, weld‐
ing, cutting work and to use open fire, e.g. smoking
in the proximity of the battery. Avoid spark formation
through electrostatic discharging. Before touching the
battery, it is therefore necessary to touch the vehicle
body.
Work on the batteries must only be carried out in suita‐
ble well-ventilated areas.
Do not expose batteries to direct sunlight.
Discharged batteries may freeze.
