Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Battery Safety Label

Battery Safety Label
1. -  When working in the area of batteries, fire, sparks, open flame and smoking are prohibited. Avoid sparks when working with cables and electrical devices, and from electrostatic discharge. Avoid short circuits. For this reason, tools should not be rested on the battery.
2. -  Wear protective eyewear when working on the battery.
3. -  Always keep acid and batteries out of the reach of children.
4. -  Disposal: old batteries require special disposal. They may only be disposed of at a suitable collection facility and only in consideration of legal regulations.
5. -  Do not dispose of old batteries in household waste.
6. -  When handling batteries, there is a risk of explosion. Battery charging produces a highly explosive gas mixture.
7. -  Always observe notes on battery in ELSA "Electrical Equipment - General Information" and in the Owner's Manual.
8. -  Danger of burns: battery acid is severely corrosive, therefore protective gloves and eyewear must be worn when working on the battery. The battery must not be tipped because acid may spill from the ventilation openings.
