Filling System Maintenance
Batteries filling circuit must be serviced once a year. Cleaning
frequency must be increased in case of premature clogging of
the filter or a reduction of water flow.
- Disconnect and clean the filter (3) (See Figure 6-6.) by
reversing the water flow from the normal direction.
- Check hoses for flexibility. In case of hardening in the
connections area, replace the hose.
- Check every fittings and connections for leakage.
- Check the caps individually. Ensure perfect mobility of the
floats. In case of clogging, replace the cap.
Use of a Battery in a Cold Environment
Low temperatures decrease battery capacity. The battery must
be fully charged when the machine is operated in a cold envi-
ronment.
Battery Not Working Continuously or Inactive
Battery
A battery that is not used or used intermittently must be stored
charged in a dry area away from freezing temperatures. A
charge must be performed once a month.
- Disconnect the battery to insulate it electrically.
- Keep the top of the battery clean and dry to prevent self-
discharge.
IF THE BAT TERY IS NOT USED CONTINUOUSLY, IT MUST BE
RECHARGED BEFORE USE AND AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH (EVEN IF THE
ELECTROLYTE SPECIFIC GRAVITY MEASURES ARE HIGH).
BEFORE RETURNING TO SERVICE A BATTERY THAT REMAIN INACTIVE
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, CHARGE THE BATTERY AND CHECK
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL IN THE CELLS.
