5 Maintenance
Electrics
¾ Before recharging, first check battery
without electric load to make sure that only
intact batteries undergo charging.
¾ During electrical charging, batteries pro-
duce hydrogen and oxygen gas which
under certain conditions may result in an
explosive mixture. Battery should only be
filled and charged in well ventilated rooms.
¾ Avoid rubbing textiles agai
nst the battery.
¾ The electrolyte level must always be main-
tained between max. and min. markers (to
avoid large gas volumes).
¾ Due to the possibility of static charges, do
not rub batteries with dry cloths. Use damp
cloths instead.
WARNING

immediately. In the event of contact
with the eyes, please consult a doctor
at once! Any spilt battery acid should
be neutralised straight away!
Wear protective equipment.

Even in the case of maintenance-free batte-
ries, it is necessary to check the condition and
acid density/level.
