3.6. Individual Operations of Maintenance
Use protective gloves and eye protec-
tion equipment when working with the
battery.
Wear suitable dress to protect your skin
against staining with electrolyte.
In case of an eye injured by electrolyte
immediately wash the eye with owing
water for couple of minutes. Then seek
medical advice.
In case of ingestion of electrolyte drink
maximum possible amount of milk, wa-
ter or mixture of magnesium oxide with
water.
In case of staining your skin with elec-
trolyte take o your clothes and shoes,
wash injured spots with soap water or
with solution of soda and water as soon
as possible. Then seek medical advice.
Do not eat, drink and smoke during
operation!
Wash your hands and face carefully with
soap and water after nishing you work!
Do not test whether wires are alive by
touching the frame of the machine.
In case of contact of both poles of the
battery the short-circuit may cause ex-
plosion of the battery.
Keep the batteries dry and clean.
Close batteries after checking.
Rell battery with distilled water only -
never with acid.
Rell distilled water immediately before
working with the machine or before re-
charging the battery.
Recharge insuciently charged battery.
Recharge batteries dismantled from the
machine.
Open the plugs before recharging.
Do not disconnect the battery under run-

! NOTE !
If a maintenance-free battery is installed on the
machine, it is not necessary to check the electro-
lyte level and the electrolyte is not lled up for the
whole service life of the battery. Other tasks pre-
scribed above must be performed. Consult the bat-
tery discharge condition – the lowest permissible
voltage level (measures on the battery terminals)
under which the battery could be damaged and the
charging procedure with the manufacturer.
