CHECKING THE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
DANGER
•
Check the level only after stopping the engine and if necessary add distilled water only before starting
work.
•
Always wear safety goggles and waterproof gloves.
•
To prevent gas explosions, do not use naked flames, do not smoke and avoid producing sparks due to
short circuits.
•
The battery electrolyte is dangerous; if it comes in contact with the eyes or skin, rinse with plenty of
water and consult a doctor without delay.
The battery (1) can be reached after raising the mat on the left
side and opening the door (2).
The electrolyte level in each cell must be about 6 mm above the
plate edge; if necessary, top up with distilled water only.
If, on the contrary, the level is low because some fluid has been
spilled, add diluted sulphuric acid until reaching the concentra-
tion suitable for the ambient temperature.
(See “3.11.3 BATTERY”).
IMPORTANT
☞
•
It is advisable to add distilled water before starting work,
in order to prevent it from freezing.
•
Before putting back the cell plugs, make sure that the
breather holes are not clogged.
•
Make sure that the connection terminals are not oxidized;
if necessary, clean them and cover them with anti-oxida-
tion grease.
