If your vehicle is not correctly greased, there is a risk of overheating of the mechanical parts, which can result

The battery electrolyte must never be brought into contact with the skin or the eyes. In case of accidental
splashing, immediately and copiously wash the effected part with cold water and consult a doctor.
During inspection and maintenance of the battery, abide by the precautions and procedures below:

each refi ll cap. If the batteries are not equipped with this type of device, check that the level of
water totally covers the plates.
