The operator must keep the battery room open during the batteries recharge.
Moreover:
It is forbidden to use flames and/or to smoke near the batteries;
Pay attention to the battery acid;
Do not develop sparks near the batteries;
Pay attention to the batteries gazes, which can burst;
Do not invert battery polarities.
5.2.1 HYDROMETRY
In order to check the batteries hydrometry the operator has to follow the instructions below:
By means of a hydrometer draw a small quantity of electrolyte so that the floater reaches
the surface;
Make sure that the floater inside the hydrometer is not blocked;
For a new measurement, after having filled the batteries with distilled water, the operator
has to wait until the liquid inside each battery becomes homogeneous.
5.2.2 WATER FILLING UP
Fill distilled water up in each battery cell before the recharge. The liquid inside the
batteries has to be of 6 mm. over the plates;
The operator has to repeat the same operation every time the level decreases (every
week).
5.2.3 CHARGE LIMITS
It is not necessary to recharge the batteries if the hydrometry, after a work day, is not under 1,24
(28 Bè). The highest suggested temperature is 45°C. If the electrolyte temperature increases more
than 10/12 °C compared to the outside temperature, the batteries can be overcharged.
5.2.4 OFF DUTY OR INACTIVE BATTERIES
Inactive batteries looses their automatically their charge. If batteries do not continually work, the
operator has to:
Charge the batteries once a month with a ‘final’ stream intensity until gas is spread and
the batteries voltage and weight are constant for 3-4 hours. This operation has to be
done even if the absolute weight is high;
Keep the batteries in a dry room.
