Take off the cap (1) and make sure that electrolyte level (2) is
about 10 mm above the plates. If the level is lower, top up to
the correct level with distilled water.
If the ambient temperature is below freezing, run the engine for
a while after topping up with distilled water. Otherwise the
electrolyte might freeze.
Make sure that ventilation openings of the element covers are
not clogged, then put the cover back on.
The cable terminals must be properly tightened and clean.
Clean corroded cable shoes and grease them with acid-free
Vaseline.
Observe care when using a high-pressure jet and do not place
the nozzle too close to the radiator.
Always disconnect the negative cable first when disconnecting
the battery. When connecting the battery, always connect the
positive cable first.
Discard used batteries appropriately. Batteries contain
lead, which is detrimental to the environment.
Before doing any electric welding on the machine,
disconnect the battery ground cable and then all
electrical connections to the alternator.
Drum cartridge - Cleaning the ventilation screw
Clean the drum's ventilation hole and ventilation screw
(1). The hole is required to eliminate excess pressure
inside the drum.
