Battery
The battery (11) is located at the right under the side covering.
1 To remove the battery, disconnect the negative terminal (-) first.
To install the battery, connect the positive terminal (+) first. Any
contact between a tool and the cable connecting the positive
pole and the frame, may cause sparks.
2 For longer storage periods disconnect the battery.
Battery disconnecting switch (option)
The battery disconnecting switch must always be switched
off for longer resting periods of the machine and for repair
work in the electric system.
Three-phase generator
– The connecting poles of the battery must never be mixed up by
mistake. The poles are distinctly marked with (+) or (-). Incor-
rect connection immediately damages the rectifier in the gene-
rator.
– Check whether cable lugs and poles are clean, well tightened
and greased with Vaseline or similar.
Electric welding
For electric welding the earth terminal must be connected di-
rectly to the part to be welded. Disconnect the battery comple-
tely and pull of or unscrew all plug connections from the
central electric system.
WARNING!
Keep sparks and open fire away from the battery!
DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
In case of contact with battery acid flush off immediately
with lots of water. In case of caustic injury of the eyes seek
medical advice.
WARNING!
Dispose of old batteries environmentally.
