Battery
Explosion hazard!
Batteries emit explosive gases! Avoid smoking, fire or naked flames near batteries. Do not place any tools on the
battery – short circuit hazard. If the terminals are short-circuited sparks are produced which ignite escaping gases.
Risk of injury!
Battery acid is corrosive! Prevent battery acid contact with the skin, eyes, mouth and clothing! Wear gloves and
safety goggles. If you come into contact with battery acid, immediately rinse the contaminated area with plenty of
clear water! See a doctor.
The batteries have a rated voltage of 12 volts, the battery capacity is 77 Ah. The battery is located beneath the wheel
loader's driver's seat. It is accessible by tilting the seat.
Servicing the battery
• Always keep the battery terminals and the connecting cable clamps clean and lubricate them with corrosion
protection grease.
• Check weekly the battery acid level weekly.
• If necessary, add distilled water to the battery.
• Ensure that the cover of the positive terminal is always present and closed.
