TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Warning notes
Wear eye protection. Do not
allow particles contain acid
or lead to come into contact
with the eyes, skin or
clothes.
Battery acid is highly caus-
tic. Always wear protective
gloves and glasses. Do not
tip battery – acid can spill
out of the vents.
Should acid come into contact
with the eyes, rinse for several
minutes using clean running
water. Seek medical assistance
immediately. Should acid come
into contact with skin or clothes,
neutralise immediately using an
alkaline soap solution and rinse
throughly. Should acid inadver-
tently be drunk, seek medical
attention immediately.
Keep well clear of naked
flame and sparks. Do not
smoke.
Avoid generating sparks when
handling cables and electrical
components. Avoid short circuits.
Never short battery terminals –
danger of injury from high energy
sparks.
When battery is being
charged, a highly explosive
mixture of gasses is pro-
duced.
Keep acid and battery out of
the reach of children.
•
Disconnect positive terminal
of battery before doing any work
on the electrical system. When
changing bulbs it is sufficient to
switch off lamp.
•
When disconnecting the battery
from the vehicle electrical system
first disconnect the negative cable
and then the positive cable.
The battery must not be discon-
nected with the engine running, as
this will damage the electrical sys-
tem (electronic components).
•
When reconnecting the battery,
first connect the positive cable,
then the negative. On no account
may the cable be interchanged.
Risk of cables burning!
Do not disconnect the vehicle battery
when the ignition is on or when the
engine is running, as the electrical
system (electronic components) could
otherwise be damaged.
In order to protect the casing from UV
radiation, do not expose vehicle bat-
tery to direct sunlight.
