5.9.3 Removal/Installation

The battery is placed under the tank. To access the

battery, first dismantle the fuel tank as follows:
1. Open the engine casing.
2. Close the fuel cock, see 14.
3. Unscrew the two wing nuts (16:B) and remove

the clamps.

4. Carefully lift up the petrol tank.
During removal/installation of the battery, the fol-

lowing applies regarding connection of the cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-

ble from the battery’s negative terminal (-).

Then disconnect the red cable from the battery’s

positive terminal (-).

• During installation. First connect the red cable

to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then con-

nect the black cable to the battery’s negative ter-

minal (-).

If the cables are disconnected/connect-

ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of

a short-circuit and damage to the bat-

tery.
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-

erator and the battery will be damaged.
Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-

bles can cause a fire.
The engine must never be driven with

the battery disconnected. There is a risk

of serious damage to the generator and

the electrical system.

When the battery has been rectified, install the fuel

tank as follows:

Check that the petrol hose is not

clamped against the hydraulic pump

and does not come into contact with

this. The hydraulic pump becomes very

hot during operation. Risk of fire.

1. Place the petrol tank on the brackets. Check that

the petrol hose is not touching the hydraulic

pump.

2. Install the clamps and tighten the wing nuts

(16:B).

5.9.4 Cleaning

If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they

should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with

a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal

grease.
