О peration 27 Batteries
CAUTION! The batteries contain sulfur-
ic acid that causes severe burns in case
of skin exposure. Avoid exposure of
hand skin, eyes and clothing to the acid.
When the acid gets onto external body
parts, rinse them with a strong jet of
pure water. In case of ingestion, drink
plenty of water or milk. In case of con-
tact with the mucous membrane of an
eye, rinse it with plenty of water for 15
minutes and then call for medical assis-
tance. Keep sparks or flames away from
the area of electrolyte, as this can cause
an explosion. Charge the batteries in a
ventilated room. When servicing batte-
ries wear protective goggles and gloves.
• Keep batteries clean and dry.
• Make sure, batteries are properly fas-
tened. Before taking off plugs, clean ad-
jacent surfaces.
• Check level of electrolyte. It should be
12…15 mm higher of protective mesh (or
between level marks on transparent bat-
tery housing).
• Before adding distilled water check
electrolyte density in each cell jar of the
battery. If necessary, additionally distill-
ed water.
• Check terminals (2) and plugs (1) for
cleanness. If necessary, grease ter-
minals with technical cup grease and
clean ventilation holes in the plugs (1).
