•Thebatterycontainsdilutedsulphuricacid,whichishighlyexplosive.Donot
usenakedflamesorproducesparksnearthebattery(explosivegases).Proceed
withcare,shieldingyoureyesandface.Incaseofaccidentalcontactwiththesul‐
phuricacid,rinseimmediatelywi
thplentyofrunningwater.

Inthecaseofleadacidbatterymaintenanceisreducedandinmostcasesnotne‐
cessary.However,iftheelectrolyte,withthemachineonalevelsurface,isbelow
theminimumallowedlevel(MIN.)
,itispossibletotopupbyremovingthesea‐
ling caps and adding distilled water without exceeding the maximum level
(MAX.).
Whenthebatterycannotaccumulateelectricenergyanylonger,replaceitwitha
newonehavingthesamecharacteristics.Seethesp ecificationstabl eonthe bat‐

lowthestepsbelowtoreplace:
•WiththemachineoffandenginekeyintheOFFpositiondisconnectthebat‐
teryswitch;
• Disconnectthebatteryterminals,alwaysstartingfromthenegativepole(‐).
•Removethebatteryandinstallthenewone;
• Reconnectthecables,alwaysstartingfromthepositivepole(+).
