Check the acid level in the vehicle batteries once a week during the season.
WARNUNG
Risk of burns.
Battery acid may cause dangerous burns on the skin and within the respiratory sys-
tem.
– When handling acid batteries, always wear sufficient protective clothing (protective
goggles, acid-resistant gloves, apron).
– Avoid skin contact with battery acid.
– Avoid inhaling acid vapours.
– When handling batteries, make sure that there is sufficient ventilation in the work-
place.
– In case of skin contact with battery acid, immediately flush the skin sections con-
cerned with lots of water. Then immediately consult a doctor.
Where necessary, refill with distilled water until the acid level is 10 mm above the
upper level of the plates.
Use the ROPA battery cell filler with automatic level stop (ROPA item no. 015364) to
complete this task quickly and safely.
