CAUTION
Potential for damage to the battery male connector!
If the battery male connector is disconnected or con-
nected while the key switch is switched on or while
the battery charger is under load, an arc or a tran-
sition spark will be produced at the battery male
connector. This can lead to erosion at the contacts
and can considerably shorten the service life of the
contacts.
–
Switch off the key switch or the battery charger
before the battery male connector is disconnected
or connected.
–
Do not disconnect the battery male connector
while under load, except in an emergency.
Ventilation gap
The ventilation gaps between the battery cov-
er and the chassis are used for forced-air
cooling of the battery compartment.
–
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
–
If the battery cover is deformed, contact the
authorised service centre.
