Battery
Battery acid is highly caustic!
Danger of caustic injury!
Therefore when recharging and/or working near the battery:
☞ Always wear goggles and protective clothing with long sleeves
If acid is spilt:
☞ 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!
Especially when charging batteries, as well as during normal operation of
batteries, an oxyhydrogen mixture is formed in the battery cells –
Danger of explosion!
☞ Avoid naked lights and sparks in the vicinity of the battery and do not
smoke!
☞ Do not attempt to jump-start the machine if the battery is frozen or if the
acid level is low. The battery can rupture or explode!
• Replace the battery immediately
☞ Always disconnect the negative terminal (–) from the battery before starting
repair work on the electric system!
Battery A is located underneath the engine cover. The battery is “maintenance-free”.
However have the battery checked at regular intervals to make sure the electrolyte level is
between the MIN and MAX marks.
Checking the battery requires it to be removed and must be carried out by an authorised
workshop.
Always follow the specific battery safety instructions!
Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running.
