• RECHARGING or replacing the accumulator batteries
ATTENTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
The batteries give out hydrogen while working, and mainly during charging: this gas is highly
explosive in the presence of naked flames.
1) Battery recharging and replacement must be done by specially designated trained qualified
personnel, according to the battery manufacturer’s or the machine manufacturer’s instructions.
These operations can be carried out by the machine driver after prior authorization.
2) Before proceeding with replacement or recharging the battery, position the machine
correctly, apply the parking brake and remove the key from the power switch.
3) While charging the battery, leave the element caps in place to prevent splashing of
electrolyte. Make sure the caps bleed regularly.
4) The battery compartment cover must be kept open to allow dispersion of gas and heat.
5) Avoid the presence of naked flames, sparks and electric arcs in the areas meant for the
battery recharge. Do not smoke.
