Warning!
Battery acid hazard. The battery contains highly caustic sulphuric acid. This
acid must not be allowed to come into contact with the skin, the eyes, clothing,
or the machine.
• When recharging and/or working near the battery, always wear goggles
and protective clothing with long sleeves.
• If acid is spilled, thoroughly rinse affected skin immediately with clean
water and seek medical attention immediately.
Warning!
Battery explosion hazard. Lead acid batteries can generate a potentially
explosive hydrogen and oxygen mixture. Batteries can explode or rupture
during jump starting, particularly if the electrolyte is low or has been frozen.
• Avoid open flames and sparks in the vicinity of the battery. Do not smoke.
• Before jump-starting, take the battery to the dealer for appraisal by a qual-
ified technician.
• Replace a dead battery with a new one equivalent to the original.
• Always disconnect the negative terminal (–) from the battery before start-
ing repair work on the electric system.
Battery A is located under the cab, in front of the fuel tank. The battery is “maintenance-
free”. However have the battery checked at regular intervals to make sure the electrolyte
level is between the MIN and MAX marks.
Checking the battery requires it to be removed and must be performed by an authorized
Wacker Neuson service center.
Always follow the specific battery safety instructions!
Important!
Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running.
