- Do not charge damaged batteries. Danger of explosion.
- Do not charge a hot battery. Danger of explosion.
- A battery is completely charged if at a constant tempe-
rature, the density of the electrolyte and the measured
voltage at the poles does not increase within 2 hours.
- Every charge is as good as the general condition of the
battery. This means that the charge of an old battery will not
achieve the same lifetime and efficiency as a new battery.
- The most straightforward charge method is the constant
power charge.
- When charging is over, the charger voltage increases
and creates gasification. It is advisable to use straightfor -
ward chargers with minimum current control and a timer
to switch the charger off.
- If the battery has a low electrolyte level, top up to the minimum
level (just above the limit of the plates) and then charge. After
ending the charge, fill to the maximum level (to avoid leaks).
Do not overcharge because:
a) It is a waste of energy that causes water disassociation.
b) It produces a loss of active mass due to the deterioration
of the electrodes.
c) It creates a danger of explosion.
- If the sulphated batteries are charged without a voltage
limit, they will reach boiling point and overheat.
- Charge old batteries with the utmost caution (they will
probably be sulphated batteries). Even at 13.8 Volt, the-
re is the risk of an increase in temperature.
- ATTENTION -
All these procedures must be carried out by competent
and trained staff.
- ATTENTION -
Batteries contain substances that are particularly hazardous
pollutants and must not be disposed of in the environment.
Uncharged, old, damaged, etc. batteries must be dispo-
sed of appropriately.
Low maintenance batteries
Low maintenance batteries are designed to avoid mainte-
nance during ordinary and normal battery use. If the battery
is flat, check the electrolyte level and follow the instructions
in the paragraph “BATTERY”. Please consult the supplier or
manufacturer for technical specifications.
Maintenance-free batteries
These types of battery do not require any maintenance.
When the battery is flat, it must be replaced. Please consult
the supplier or manufacturer for technical specifications.
- ATTENTION -
DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY MAINTENANCE OR ATTEMPT
TO RECOVER MAINTENANCE-FREE BATTERIES.
STARTING UP WITH AUXILIARY BATTERIES
- ATTENTION -
Two adequately trained and qualified people are requi -
red to start the engine using an auxiliary battery.
Any mistakes during this procedure can cause serious
damage to the machine, things and people.
- When starting the engine from another machine, con-
nect the batteries in parallel. When connecting the ca-
bles, avoid contact between the positive cable “+” and
the negative cable “-“.
- Ensure you are wearing appropriate protective clothing
before carrying out any procedures.
- Take care to avoid contact between the machine to be
started up and the machine that has to supply the power,
to avoid sparks and consequently explosions caused by
the hydrogen produced by the batteries. If the battery
explodes, it could cause serious damage and injury.
- Ensure you never accidentally switch the starting cables and con-
nect first the ground lead (-) and lastly the positive voltage lead (+).
- Use great care when removing the starting cables; en-
sure that when the cables are disconnected from the
battery they do not touch other parts of the machine to
prevent hydrogen explosions.
- ATTENTION -
THE CABLES AND THE CLIPS MUST BE SIZED ACCOR-
DING TO THE POWER CHARGE TO BE TRANSFERRED.
THE CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY USED TO START THE
MACHINE MUST BE GREATER OR AT LEAST EQUAL TO
THE CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY ON THE MACHINE.
- ATTENTION -
ENSURE THE CABLES AND CLIPS ARE NOT CORRO-
DED OR DAMAGED.
ENSURE THE CLIPS GRIP THE TERMINALS FIRMLY.
- ATTENTION -
TAKE THE UTMOST CARE DURING THE VARIOUS PROCE-
DURES, DIRECT OR INDIRECT CONTACT WITH LIVE PARTS
CAN CAUSE INJURY AND SOMETIMES EVEN DEATH.
- ATTENTION -
WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED, THE OPERATOR
MUST BE SEATED IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT TO ENSURE
THE MACHINE IS UNDER HIS OR HER CONTROL.
