Battery maintenance precautions
• Disconnect the batteries before you perform any type
of service on the electrical system.
NOTE:
Familiarize yourself with the battery cable dis-
connection sequence and the disconnection sequence
of other electrical and electronic components before
you start the service procedure.
• The sulfuric acid contained in the battery is poisonous.
The acid is strong enough to scald the skin, corrode
clothes and cause blindness if it comes into contact with
the eyes.
NOTE:
Wash your eyes with water for
15 min
in the
event of contact. See a doctor immediately.
• Always top up the battery electrolyte level in ventilated
areas.
• Wear eye protections and rubber gloves.
• Avoid breathing the electrolyte vapors when topping up
the electrolyte level.
• Avoid spilling or splashing the machine with the elec-
trolyte.
• Use the correct emergency start-up method.
• In case of contact with the acid, thoroughly wash the
affected part with water. Place baking soda or clay on
the area to help neutralize the acid.
