TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Charging the b
battery
Before charging, switch off the engine
and all electrical consumers.
When charging with a low current (e.g.
with a small charger) the battery cables
need not normally be taken off. The
instructions from the battery charger man-
ufacturer must, however, be noted.
In order to connect the positive cable, the
cover of the fuse holder on the battery
must first be moved to the side. See page
3.49.
Before quick c
charging, that is charging
with a high current, both battery cables
must be disconnected.

points:
