BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Charge the batteries at least twice a week with a suitable charger!! Prevent the
batteries from becoming depleted completely!
Please contact your dealer for a comprehensive product information pack on
batteries. Please find below directions for use and maintenance.
CAUTION!
-
Explosive gas is released during battery recharge. Avoid smoking, fire and
naked flames.
-
Only recharge the batteries in well-ventilated areas.
-
Check fluid levels on a weekly basis. The battery fluid must be at least 1cm
above the plates.
-
Only fill up with distilled water.
The b
attery’s lifespan is reduced considerably if
recharged unnecessarily. Immediate recharge of
empty batteries substantially increases the
lifespan. The lifespan of the batteries and charger
are adversely affected if the batteries are
discharged to under the 20% level Consequently,
the specific gravity of the acid should preferably be
checked on a weekly basis using an acidimeter.
