DENSITY OF THE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE
CHECK
The electrolyte’s density varies according to the temperature but a minimum level
of 1260 at 16°C must be maintained.
In the hatched section (Fig. D10), the battery is normally charged.
Above the hatched section, the battery must be recharged.
The density must not vary by 0.025 unit from one battery element to another.
- Open the battery cover.
- Check the electrolyte density in each battery element with an acidometer.
- Never check after having added distilled water. Recharge the battery and wait 1
hour before checking the battery electrolyte’s density.
Manipulating and servicing a battery can be dangerous; take the
following precautions:
- Wear protective goggles.
- Keep the battery horizontal when manipulating it.
- Never smoke or work close to a naked flame.
- Work in a sufficiently well-ventilated area.
- If some electrolyte splashes onto your skin or in your eyes, rinse
the affected area thoroughly with cold water for 15 minutes and call
a doctor.

TIGHTENING THE BOLTS ON THE TURRET ORIENTATION CROWN
GEAR
CHECK
- The tightness of the screws must be checked at the latest after 50 hours of
operation. This check must then be repeated every 500 hours of operation.
- The tightening torque for the screws is
27 daN.m ± 10 %.
- 1 daN = 1 Kg.
D12 -
BRAKING
CHECK
- Check the braking system by disconnecting the coil 1(Fig. D12) from the hydraulic
unit on the chassis (to access the unit, remove the casing on the left-hand side of
the chassis) and make a translation movement.
The lifting platform must not move forward.
- After the test, reconnect the coil.
D13 - ALTERNATOR/FAN/CRANKCASE BELT
REPLACE
- Open the left-hand cowl.
- Loosen the bolts 1 (Fig. D13) two or three turns.
- Swivel the alternator assembly to free the belt and the replace it with a new one (see:
3 - MAINTENANCE: FILTER ELEMENTS AND BELTS).
- Adjust the tension between the crankcase and alternator pulleys.
- Under thumb pressure (98 N), the tension should be 7 to 9 mm (A, Fig. D13)
- Retighten the bolts 1 (Fig. D13).
Recheck the belt tension after the first 20 hours of operation.
