4.13 BATTERY: CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
‑ Never approach flames or cause sparks near the battery (explosive gas).
‑ The battery contains sulphuric acid that is highly explosive.
‑ Therefore act with maximum care and protect eyes and face.
‑ In case of any accidental contact with the skin, wash immediately with abundant run‑
ning water.
4.13.1 CHECKING ELECTROLYTE
The battery does not need topping up.
Anyhow if the electrolyte level, with the machine flat,
was below the minimum level (MIN), you can top it up
by removing cover “A” and add distilled water without
exceeding the level (MAX).
If the inactivity period is more than a month, it is advised to isolate the battery:
‑
Remove the battery terminals, always starting by the negative pole (‑).
‑ Connect again the electric cables always starting from the positive pole (+).
4.13.2 RECHARCHING THE BATTERY
‑ Recharging the battery must always be done in a ventilated place and away from free
flames and any spark sources.
‑ Never remove the cables when the engine is on.
‑ Remove the battery cover (fig.1) and put it back after the battery has been recharged.
This is to avoid explosion risks.
To recharge the battery, operate as follows:
1)
Disconnect the terminals of the machine electric system from the battery poles.
2) Remove cover “A” (fig.1).
3) Connect the recharging cables to the battery poles and turn on the recharging equip‑
ment.
4) Once the recharging done, disconnect the equipment before disconnecting it from the
battery.
