1 - If the batteries are already lled:
a) Check the level of electrolyte and top up if necessary (use only
distilled water).
b) Recharge (see the MAINTENANCE section and the battery
instruction handbook).
2 - If the batteries are supplied without liquid (i.e. dry), they must
be lled with sulphuric acid (density from 1.27 to 1.29 kg at 25°C),
according to the instructions given in the next paragraph and in the
battery handbook.
Filling batteries with acid.
Pay particular attention when you are handling sulphuric acid. This
substance is corrosive. If it comes into contact with your skin or eyes,
wash with plenty of fresh water and seek medical assistance.
Batteries must be lled in a ventilated area.
Fill the cells (or single elements) of the batteries with acid. The correct
level is indicated in the battery instruction handbooks.
After an hour, top up the cells, if necessary, with more acid.
Let the batteries rest – with the machine stopped – for another
hour and then rell, in accordance to the instructions given in the
handbook provided with the battery (refer to the “MAINTENANCE”
section). During the charging operations, all battery caps must be
open.
3- If the machine has been supplied without batteries, these must be
purchased and installed accordingly.
Competent battery specialists should preferably be contacted to
choose and install the new batteries.
The electrical connection cables supplied with the machine may be
used to connect the batteries.
Once the batteries have been installed, connect the battery connector
to the machine.
If the machine is in the DP version, it must be lled with lead-free
petrol , depending on the engine. A label indicating the kind of fuel
to use is in any case applied near the fuel cap.
Check the level of oil in the engine (see the “MAINTENANCE”
chapter).
