operation, we recommend your removing the battery from its
compartment by using safety gloves and goggles.
• Always remove the element caps.
• Disconnect the cables in order to prevent any possible electrolyte
leakage from damaging the painted parts next to it.

After recharging, check the liquid level again and, if necessary,
top it up; refit the caps.
• Reinstall the battery taking care to connect the BLUE positive
cable to pole + and the negative BLACK cable to pole –.
• Battery life depends on the care you take of it. It is important to
check the liquid level monthly or even more frequently during
