NOTE: Refer to the battery manufacturer for the proper lifting strap and/or battery tools for U1 battery removal/
installation.
WARNING
Always use a battery lifting strap when lifting a battery. It is the most convenient method and assures
that the battery acid will not spill (wet cell batteries). It also helps to prolong the life of the battery.
Some battery manufacturers mold a carrying strap and/or hold down flanges directly into the battery case.
Batteries which interfere with the battery box cannot be used for the these applications. Attempting to
“wedge” a battery into a battery box may damage the box and/or the battery. Refer to DETAIL “A” in
FIGURE 2.

WARNING
Most batteries are not sold with instructions. How-
ever, warnings are frequently noted on the cell caps.
Read them carefully.
DO NOT allow the liquid in the battery to come in
contact with skin, clothes or other possessions. It is a
form of acid and harmful or damaging burns may
result. Should the liquid touch your skin, wash the
area immediately and thoroughly with cool water.
In serious cases or if eye contact is made, seek
medical attention IMMEDIATELY.
NEVER smoke or strike a match near the batteries. If
the caps of the battery cells are removed, NEVER
look directly into them when charging the battery.
