DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) Caution Prevents Blindness When Using Jumper Cables BACK BY POPULAR FRIDAYS 5 To Perch Dinner $2'5 Poor Man's Lobster Eye injuries related to car batteries nearly tripled from 1973 to 1976, according to Jim O'Neil, safety specialist for the National Society for the Prevention of blindness Among the reasons cited for the sharp increase are public ignorance of the explosive nature of the car battery and lack of proper instructions for the use of jumper cables. "The public is not aware that battery explosions may result from improper connection of jumper cables, accidental shorting or sparking, or examining a battery with an open flame," he said "Or, that these explosions may result in severe eye injuries, even blindness." In a recent report, eye specialists Drs. T.L.R. Holekamp and Bernard Becker of the Department of Ophthalmology, Washington university School of Medicine, St. Louis, Mo., attributed the increase to the large number of unwary or careless individuals servicing their own cars. Many drivers are unaware that a car battery can become a highly explosive bomb! Car batteries are filled with a mixture of water and sulfuric acid which under certain conditions, as during rapid charging, can generate hydrogen and oxygen gases. A spark or open flame can ignite this highly explosive mixture producing a blast forceful enough to send battery acid and fragments flying. Many battery explosions are triggered by using a match flame to see into filler ports. The eye specialists' report also cited a little publicized source of battery explosion - ignition of the gas by internal sparking in old batteries which can occur when conductors between cells become cracked. Corrosion deposits on terminal posts present an additional hazard, if fragments scraped or chipped off them get into the eye. In an effort to minimize the risk of injury and loss of sight from improperly connected jumper cables, the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness recommends this step-by-step procedure. Before beginning: -Extinguish all cigarettes, matches and lighters. -Turn off the ignition in both cars, and make certain the vehicles aren't touching each other -Remove the caps from both atteries to vent dangerous gases. 1 Connect one clamp of the jumper cables to the positive pole of the dead battery. 2. Connect the other end of the same cable to the positive pole of the booster battery. 3. Connect the second cable to the negative pole of the booster battery. 4. Finally, clamp the other end to the engine block of the vehicle with the dead battery, on the side away from the battery. After starting the disabled car, remove the cable from the engine block first, then remove the other end of this cable from the booster battery. Now disconnect the other cable, first from the re-charged battery, then from the booster battery. Finally, replace all battery caps Protective eyewear is recommended for anyone working around batteries. The National society suggests that these instructions be kept handy, should the need to use jumper cables arise.
