Maintenance 5
Checking/replacing the battery
The battery is low in maintenance and no fluid needs to be refilled under normal operating
conditions.
However, have the electrolyte level in the battery checked at regular intervals.
The electrolyte level must be between the MIN and MAX marks.
When charging batteries, as well as during normal operation of batteries, an
oxyhydrogen mixture is formed in the battery cells with danger of explosions or
causticization!
☞Therefore when recharging and/or working near the battery:
• Always wear safety glasses and protective clothing with long sleeves
• Open the caps of the battery openings by half a revolution before
recharging the battery
• Avoid open lights and sparks near the battery and do not smoke!
• Always disconnect the negative terminal (−) from the battery before
starting repair work on the electrical system!
• Switch off the battery master switch (option) and remove the key
☞If acid is spilled:
• Thoroughly rinse all affected surfaces immediately with plenty of water
• Thoroughly wash any part of the body touched by the acid immediately
with plenty of water and seek medical attention at once in case of injury!
