Read the following instruction
before undertaking any work
on the batteries:
Always wear eye protection.
No particles containing acid or
lead should be allowed to
reach the eyes.
Battery acid is highly toxic.
Wear protective gloves and
suitable glasses or goggles.
Do not tilt the battery, otherwise acid
could leak out through the gas vents.
Keep children away from
batteries.
Avoid fire, sparks, or naked
flames close to the battery.
Do not smoke. Try to avoid
sparks when using cables or from
other elctrical equipment. Avoid short-
circuits. Never short-circuit the battery
terminals. The powerful arc which
results could cause severe injury.
When the batteries are
charged, a highly explosive
gas mixture is emitted and can
detonate.
If any splashes of acid reach the
eyes, rinse them out imme-
diately for some minutes with
clean water. Consult a physician without
delay. Neutralize acid spillage on the
skin or clothes immediately with soap
and rinse off with plenty of water. If acid
has been swallowed, consult a physi-
cian immediately.
To protect the battery case from
ultraviolet rays, keep batteries
away from direct daylight. As
batteries which have run flat could
freeze, store in a place where there is
no risk of frost damage.
Removing and installing
a
Never detach the battery leads
when the engine is running, or else an
overvoltage will occur and damage the
car's electronic equipment beyond
repair.
c
When removing, first disconnect the
negative poles, then the positive poles
and pull off the degassing tank at the
side. Unscrew the battery retaining
clamp.
When installing, make sure that the bat-
teries are firmly secured, then connect
the positive poles first, followed by the
negative poles.
Recharging the battery
Recharge the batteries in the car only
with the engine stopped. On cars with a
connection provided in the engine com-
partment it is easier to recharge the
batteries by way of this connection and
the earthing point in the engine com-
partment (see "Starting with a flat bat-
tery", Page 110).
a
To avoid short-circuits, discon-
nect both negative terminals from each
battery or detach the common earth
(ground) cable before starting any work
on the electrical system.
c
If the car is to remain out of use for
more than four weeks, disconnect the
batteries from the car's electrical sys-
tem by detaching the batteries' nega-
tive post clips.
If the car is to remain out of use for
more than six weeks, remove the bat-
teries, recharge them and store them in
a cool place (but protected against
frost). Recharge the batteries at least
every three months, or they will be ren-
dered useless. Every time the battery
goes flat, particularly if left in this state
for any length of time, its operating life
is reduced.
