Batteries:

 Check the electrolyte level and top up with distilled water if

dry with anti-static cloths. Recharging must be carried out with the cell 
plugs removed and the cover of the machine opened so as to allow the 
gases generated to escape.

In confined spaces the-se gases can be explosive, so recharging should be 
done in a well-ventilated area.

NORMS FOR BATTERIES SAFETY.

 It is necessary to remember that the 

batteries produce gas that can provoke explosions if they come in contact 
with flames and sparks. Do not perform reparations on a battery while it’s 
recharging.  Don’t leave tools or metallic parts on the battery. Always clean 
up and dry the batteries; the connections must be covered with anti-acid 
grease or petroleum jelly.  Take care that the battery tank is always cleaned.

IN CASE OF ACID LOSS FROM THE BATTERIES:

 replace the battery 

with the loss respecting the polarities and the connections shown above. 
For this operation use rubber gloves, apron and glasses to protect the skin 
and the eyes.
