Maintenance 7
Checking/replacing the battery
The battery is located in the engine compartment, on the right (in travel
direction) beside the radiator.
It is low in maintenance and no fluid needs to be refilled under normal
operating conditions. However, have it checked according to the
maintenance schedule to ensure that the fluid level is between the MIN
and MAX marks.
In order to avoid damage to the machine electronics, only use batteries of
the specified capacity!
If the battery is low, charge it with a tested and automatically controlled
battery charger.
In order to avoid a short circuit due to the wrong chronological order when
connecting or disconnecting the battery cables:
