Electrical system
The electrical system operates at 24 V. The source of power sup-
ply are two 12 V batteries which are charged by an alternator. The
negative pole is connected to the chassis.
The positive pole is connected to a main switch A.
Checking the electrolyte level of the batteries
The batteries are fitted behind a cover on the left-hand side of the
truck. The electrolyte level should be about 10 mm above the
cells. Top up with de-ionized water as necessary.

N.B.
The starting batteries accompanying
the truck are of the maintenance-free
type, which implies that it should not
be necessary to top-up with electro-
lyte during the life of the batteries.
However, the level of the electrolyte
should preferably be checked once or
twice a year. Fill as required by add-
ing de-ionized water.
WARNING!
The battery electrolyte contains corro-
sive sulphuric acid. Immediately re-
move any electrolyte that comes into
contact with the skin. Wash with soap
and lots of water. If electrolyte gets into
the eyes, immediately rinse with lots of
water and immediately contact a doctor.
IMPORTANT!
When working with the electrical system, when carrying
out welding on the truck or at long time parking, always
isolate the batteries.
