Practical advice
Disconnecting vehicle batteries
Danger.
Switch the battery isolating switch to the
OFF position (key can be removed) before
working on parts of the vehicle electric-
al system, especially the batteries. The
battery isolating switch interrupts the
main line from the positive terminal of
the battery to the entire vehicle electric-
al system; for this reason, it must not
be switched off until the ignition starter
switch has been switched to OFF and the
water heater's run-on period has ended
(risk of overheating).
Danger.
Only lead-acid batteries are permitted to
be fitted, never gel batteries. All cells of
the batteries must be fitted with special
caps that are interlinked by vent hoses,
thereby allowing any gases produced to
be directed into the open air.

Remove the negative terminal clamp
from the battery.
Remove the positive terminal clamp
from the battery.
Reconnect the batteries in reverse
order.
M54_00-0839-01
Push the battery carriage back in as
far as the stop until pins (2) with a
hole in the side are revealed, and
then secure using two split pins (1)
on the left- and right-hand side.
Danger.
Risk of entrapment and crushing of fin-
gers. To slide the battery carriage in,
push on the batteries with both hands.
Do not push on the frame on the outside.
