handbooks.
After an hour, top up the cells, if necessary, with more acid.
Let the batteries rest – with the machine stopped – for another hour and then refill, in accordance to the
instructions given in the handbook provided with the battery (refer to the “MAINTENANCE” section). During the
charging operations, all battery caps must be open.
