Risk of explosion from static charging!
Cleaning with a feather duster or dry cloths made of synthetic fibers can
lead to static charging and thus to a gas explosion.
Serious injuries and death can result.
► Only clean the battery surfaces with cotton or paper towels moistened

It is possible to clean the battery with a high-pressure cleaner. Cleaning

► Before cleaning, check whether the cell connectors
are firmly tightened and inserted.
► Before cleaning, check whether the cell plugs are shut.
► Maintain a distance of at least 30 cm (12 in) between
the nozzle and the battery.
► Do not exceed an operating pressure of 50 bar (725 psi).
► Only spray broadly across the battery.
► Do not continue to spray on any single location
for more than 3 seconds.
