Maintenance and Service
5.4.2
Servicing the driving batteries
Checking the acid level
The Admiral 38C is fitted with a main-
tenance-free battery. However, if a wet
battery is used instead, the acid level must
be checked by the customer on a weekly
basis and distilled water must be topped
up, if necessary; also see paragraph 5.3.1.
There must be no naked flames
used in the vicinity when han-
dling batteries, particularly when
checking the acid level.
The battery cells are provided with fill level
indicators which ensure the correct height
of electrolyte is maintained: Refill distilled
water, if required. Details on the filling pro-
cess are contained in the manual provided
by the battery manufacturer.
Spilled battery acid must never
enter the sewage system in its
initial form, it must be neutral-
ized beforehand: e.g. diluted with
plenty of water or absorbed with
granulate.
Checking the acid density and voltage
of each battery
These points must be checked and cor-
rected at regular intervals within the scope
of PowerBoss system maintenance by an
authorized service center.

If the Admiral 38C is equipped
with a cab safety roof, lift the bat-
teries out on the left-hand side of
the battery. The cab safety roof
has a recess (Fig. 24/4) for the
lifting gear rope.
