CHAPTER 7 - Maintenance
7.4.2.4
BATTERY CHECK
The acid in the electrolyte may cause injuries.
In the event of contact with the electrolyte wash with plenty of water and clean the area.
Use a baking soda solution to neutralise the acid.
Acid in your eyes must be immediately rinsed with water.
It is a mandatory requirement to always wear safety goggles and gloves when working on the battery.
Do not forget that batteries generate explosive vapours.
Keep the cover vents clean.
Avoid the presence of naked fl ames, sparks or electric arcs in the areas intended for recharging the battery.
Never perform any cleaning, lubrication or maintenance operation with the battery connected. The upper surface of the elements must be kept dry and
the battery terminals must be kept clean.
With the exception of maintenance-free batteries, for all other ones the electrolyte level must be checked and distilled water added if necessary.
Keep the electrolyte level above the plates and separators.
When repairing the electrical system, disconnect the battery to interrupt the current fl ow.
First disconnect the negative ground wire (-) then the positive wire (+).
Upon completing the maintenance activity fi rst connect the positive wire (+) then the negative one (-).
If electrical welds need to be performed on the machine, the accumulator needs to be disconnected.
CAUTION
Periodically check the charge and electrolyte liquid level and if necessary perform recharge and/or topping up.
At the end of the season detach the battery, store it in a dry place and out of the reach of children.
If the battery is left inactive for a long period of time it discharges, and is irreparably damaged.
7.4.2.5
TYRES
Remember that the tyres and wheels of the machine are important parts for the safety of the vehicle and persons and require by the user proper use
and periodic checks as well as constant maintenance.
During tyre fi tting and removal operations certain safety precautions need to be adhered to in order to prevent possible errors and carelessness which
may cause serious injuries.
For reasons of safety and functionality it is not allowed to use wheels or fastening elements other than those intended by the machine Manufacturer.
The fastening screws and nuts do not require to be lubricated, not even to make fi tting and removal easier
Consistent wheels and tyres must be used on the machine and on the same axle: by the same supplier and with the same pattern.
CAUTION
The air pressure in the tyres may cause parts of them to burst.
The explosion of tyre parts may cause serious injury.
Check integrity of tyres and remove any foreign matter from the tread.
Check for any deformation or damage to the wheels.
Check whether there are any loosened or missing parts.
For trolleys with tyres, keep the tyres at the correct pressure set out in the technical specifi cations table in chapter 2.
Air pressure must be adjusted with warm tyres.
When adjusting the pressure of a tyre, remember to check all the other tyres on the same axle in order to have the same pressure on all wheels.
The air pressure of warm tyres must always be the same as or greater than the specifi ed one for cold tyres.
Infl ation must be performed within a sturdy safety cage which is able to provide protection in the event the tyre should fail.
During infl ation stay beside the tyre and never in front of it:
"Explosion hazard"
Always stand to the side of the tyre to correct tyre pressure.
Always restore infl ation pressure.
Completely defl ate the tyre before starting to remove the wheel.
Ensure the wheel nuts are tight.
Adhere to the instructions set out in the maintenance program to achieve consistent and effective locking of the nuts.
After fi tting the wheels, check the condition of all the nuts of the wheel after 3-4 hours of operation.
Tighten the nuts crosswise with the required torque or according to the order set out in the relevant paragraph. When the nuts remain tightened for
ten hours, the interval to check the torque may be extended to 200 hours.
