Operator Safety Ventilation When Charging Batteries SAFETY Failure to provide adequate ventilation while charging batteries can result in an explosion. Volatile hydrogen gas is emitted during charging and may accumulate in pockets at the ceiling. • Always ensure a minimum of 5 air changes per hour in the charging area. • Always remove any storage covers from the vehicle and open any cab doors (if equipped) before charging. Failure to Inspect Before Operating Failure to inspect and verify that the vehicle is in safe operating condition before operating increases the risk of an accident. Always inspect your RANGER before each use to make sure it's in safe operating condition. Always follow all inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the owner's manual. Using Alcohol or Drugs Operating the vehicle after consuming alcohol or drugs could adversely affect operator judgment, reaction time, balance and perception. Never drink alcohol or use drugs or medications before or while operating this vehicle. 17
