CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Use protective clothing and glasses when
handling a leaking battery, and avoid
direct contact to the skin, eyes and
respiratory organ.
• Should a battery leakage occur, please
act according to the instructions supplied
by the manufacturer of the battery. Act
with caution as caustic substances are
present in the battery.
• Always remove the battery and the power
cable before carrying out any
maintenance of the product.
• Before removing the clamps switch off all
appliances.
• No smoking is allowed in the area of the
Battery Box.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge and a non-
acid/abrasive detergent when cleaning
the Battery Box and Soft Tray.
• To check if any acid is present in the Soft
Tray, simply press it softly. A strong smell
from the Soft Tray may also indicate
spilled acid. The battery can be filled
again with acid collected from the Soft
Tray. Disposal through local drains is
possible and legally permitted, on
condition that the acid is mixed with
water equaling 50 times the amount of
acid. It is often possible to dispose of
acid at gas stations.
• Before the camping season or extensive
traveling, check the Soft Tray for faults
and replace if necessary.
• The cleaning of the Battery Box and Soft
Tray should only be done after all power
sources have been switched off, in order
to prevent a hazardous situations.
