3.3.5 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
1) Cleaning
Clean the battery’s casing. Keep the terminal clamps clean and covered
with vaseline grease.
Fit the terminal covers after greasing them.
2) Recharging the battery
Do not leave the battery discharged for a long time: Charge it from time to time when the machine is not being
used.
Check the battery’s charge one a month and recharge it briefly so that it stays at full charge.
Partial charging it not advisable; when recharging the battery, make sure the acid temperature does not exceed
40°C (52°C for batteries with low density acid for tropical climates).
3) Checks
Check the level of acid in all battery elements or check that the acid is up to the battery’s level line.
Check the cells weekly in extreme temperatures as acid consumption may be higher in such conditions.
4) Topping up the battery acid
Keep the acid topped up to just below the filling hole or at least above the level mark; add water as necessary.
If you spill any acid, replace it with sulphuric acid at the same concentration as that remaining inside the battery.
The acid level must never drop below the upper edge of the battery plates.
5)
Disposal
Dead batteries must be disposed of as required by law.
