WARNING
This delicate operation must be carried out wearing
acid-resistant gloves and clothing and protective
glasses. Follow the safety precautions described in
previous chapters.
ENVIRONMENT NOTE
Do not pour acid-bearing wash water down the
drain. For more information, see the battery
instructions.
Battery in open case
– Check if there are traces of sulphate in the
case and the chassis.
– If there is only minimal sulphate build-up,
just wipe the top of the cells with a damp
cloth.
– If sulphate build-up is heavy, you will need
to take out the battery, jet wash it and clean
the frame.
Battery in sealed compartment
– Check that there is no electrolyte in the
bottom of the compartment by connecting
the rubber suction bulb supplied with the
battery to the plastic plunger tube.
– Pump out any electrolyte that has spilled
between cells.
– Clean the upper surface of the cells with a
damp cloth.
CAUTION
In case of heavy sulphate build-up or excessive
electrolyte spillage, call our service engineers as
soon as possible.
