3.6 Lubrication and maintenance operations
3.6.22 Battery check
Perform battery check when the machine is parked on a flat and
solid surface with the engine and battery disconnecter off.
The machine is delivered from the manufacturer with a mainte-
nance-free battery.
If a maintenance-free battery is installed in the machine, it is not
necessary to check the electrolyte level and refill the electrolyte
for the entire service life of the battery.
Perform battery charging as needed according to instructions of
the battery manufacturer.
Note
A rest voltage on clamps is only checked on a maintenance-free
battery. The battery cannot be refilled. If the rest voltage is 12.6
V and more, the battery is fully charged. If the rest voltage is
below 12.4 V, the battery should be charged. After the battery is
charged, leave it to stand for 2 – 3 hours and then measure the
voltage again. It is recommended to mount the battery 24 hours
after charging.
The rest voltage is the voltage measured at the clamps of the
battery, which was at rest for at least 12 hours – it was not either
charged or discharged.
Battery check procedure:
• Open the left material hopper side cover (1).
• Clean the battery surface.
• Measure the rest voltage of the battery, and charge the bat-
tery if required.
• Check the condition of the (+) pole, (-) pole and clamps.
• Clean the + pole, the - pole and the clamps.
• Apply a thin layer of grease on the clamps.
• Close the left material hopper side cover (1).
Note
In case of a long-term shut-down of the machine or its stor-
age, dismount the battery and store it to be protected from
frost. Charge the battery before and during storing and before
mounting the battery on the machine.
