CHECKING THE BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL
WARNING
q
Check the charge level only with the engine at rest.
q
To prevent gas explosions, do not use naked flames, do not smoke and avoid producing sparks due to
short circuits.
q
The battery electrolyte is dangerous; in case of contact with the eyes or skin, rinse with plenty of water
and consult a doctor without delay. The battery is maintenance-free.
IMPORTANT
q
Make sure that the connection terminals are not oxidized; if necessary, clean them and cover them with
anti-oxidation grease.
The battery (1) can be reached after opening the battery cover
(see "3.2.7 RADIATOR COVER").
A sight gauge (2) shows, with different colours, the battery charge
level according to the table positioned beside the gauge itself:
-
Green: optimal charge
-
Gray: the battery needs recharging
-
White: the battery must be replaced.
WARNING
q
If a dry battery is used, check that the electrolyte level is approximately 6 mm above the plate edge; if
necessary, top up using distilled water only.
If, on the contrary, the level is low because some fluid has been spilled, add sulphuric acid, after diluting
it to reach the concentration suitable for the ambient temperature (see "3.5.1.3 BATTERY").
q
It is advisable to add distilled water just before starting work, in order to prevent if from freezing.
q
Before putting back the cell caps, make sure that the breather holes are not clogged.
