6.8 Maintenance every month
6.8.1 Battery service
Only machines with electric starter.
WARNING!
Danger of cauterisation ! Danger of explosion!
When working on the battery do not use open fire, do
not smoke!
The battery contains acid. Do not let acid come in con-
tact with skin or clothes!
Wear protective clothing!
Wear safety goggles!
Do not lay any tools on the battery!
For recharging remove the plugs from the battery to
avoid the accumulation of highly explosive gases.
ENVIRONMENT!
Dispose of old batteries in compliance with legal regu-
lations.
Maintenance free batteries also need care. Mainte-
nance free only means that the fluid level does not
need to be checked. Each battery suffers under self-
discharge, which may, in not checked occasionally,
even cause damage to the battery as a result of
exhaustive discharge.
The following therefore applies for the service life:
Switch off all consumers (e.g. ignition).
Check open-circuit voltage of the battery at regular intervals.
At least once per month.
Reference values: 12.6 V = fully charged; 12.3 V = 50% dis-
charged.
Recharge the battery immediately after an open-circuit
voltage of 12.25 V or less is reached. Do not perform quick
charging.
The open-circuit voltage of the battery occurs approx. 10 hours
after the last charging process or one hour after the last discharge.
