NEVER USE FUSES WITH A CAPACITY HIGHER THAN THAT RECOMMENDED.
USING A FUSE OF UNSUITABLE RATING MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE VEHICLE OR EVEN
CAUSE A FIRE.
CAUTION
DRINKING WATER CONTAINS MINERALS THAT CAN BE EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE BAT-
TERY: USE DISTILLED WATER ONLY.
CAUTION
TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED BEFORE USE.
INADEQUATE CHARGING OF THE BATTERY WITH A LOW ELECTROLYTE LEVEL BEFORE IT
IS FIRST USED SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY.

WARNING
- Battery electrolyte is toxic and it may cause serious burns. It contains sulphuric acid. Avoid contact
with eyes, skin and clothing. In case of contact with eyes or skin, flush abundantly with water for about
15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
In the event of accidental ingestion of the fluid, immediately drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow
with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Seek immediate medical attention
Batteries produce explosive gases; keep clear of free flames, sparks or cigarettes; ventilate the area
when recharging the battery indoors.
Always protect your eyes when working close to batteries.
Keep out of the reach of children.
1)- Remove the short closed tube and the caps, then pour sulphuric acid into the cells using the type
specified for batteries, with a specific gravity of 1.26, corresponding to 30° Bé, at a minimum temperature
of 15°C until the upper level is reached.
2) - Leave to rest for at least 2 hours; then, restore the level with sulphuric acid.
3)- Within the following 24 hours, recharge with the specific battery charger (single) or (multiple) at a
density of about 1/10 of the battery nominal capacity and until the acid density is about 1.27, corre-
sponding to 31º Bé, and these values are stabilised.
4) - Once the charge is over, level the acid (by adding
distilled water
). Close and clean carefully.
5)- Once the above operations have been performed, install the battery in the vehicle ensuring the
connections between the wiring and the battery terminals are correct.
WARNING
- ONCE THE BATTERY HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE IT IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE
THE SHORT TUBE (WITH CLOSED END) NEAR THE + POSITIVE TERMINAL WITH THE CORRE-
SPONDING LONG TUBE (WITH OPEN END), THAT YOU FIND FITTED TO THE VEHICLE, TO
ENSURE THAT THE GASES THAT FORM CAN ESCAPE PROPERLY.
