THE ELECTROLYTE CONTAINED IN THE BATTERIES IS EXTREMELY CORROSIVE.
AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH CLOTHING, SKIN AND EYES. IN CASE OF CONTACT,
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH THE AFFECTED AREA WITH CLEAN WATER.
7.5. BATTERY
The battery must be maintained fully
charged to ensure the engine starts in all
circumstances.
- Remove all traces of salt which may form
on the battery terminals.
- Check the electrolyte level in the battery
elements.
- If the electrolyte overflows, immediately rinse
the metal surfaces contacted with clean
water.
- Regularly check the charge level by
measuring the electrolyte density.
• Charging the battery
- Use a 12-Volt charger adapted to the battery capacity.
- Avoid quick charging to ensure maximum battery service life.
- The battery should only be charged in a well-ventilated area.
• Disconnection - Connection of the battery
To avoid all risk of short circuit:
1- Disconnect the Negative terminal
(-) before the Positive terminal (+)
2- Reconnect the Positive terminal
(+) before the Negative terminal (-)
• Extended storage
- If the machine must be stored for an
extended period, it is best to remove the
battery and store it in a clean and dry
area, away from freezing temperatures.
- If the battery voltage in an open circuit
is less than 12.40 volts, recharge the
battery.
- Check the electrolyte level and recharge
the battery every two months.
