Batteries and maintenance
14.1 Battery Maintenance
It is very essential to maintain the batteries. This
applies particularly if the machine is left unused for
long periods, as a lawn mower often does during
the winter.
Batteries that are stored for long periods slowly
discharge, which eventually will damage the
batteries (sulfated battery) if they are not charged.
The following are some good tips on how to
maintain and protect the batteries and avoid being
damaged in vehicles that are not used regularly.
14.2 Measures when Rider Taken Out of
Service
Check whether the battery is cracked. A cracked
battery must be scrapped or repaired by a
specialist.
Clean the top of the battery, terminals and
connections with water and sodium bicarbonate.
Dirty and damp surfaces accelerate self-
discharging.
Terminal lugs must be clean, dry and lightly
greased to protect against corrosion.
Check the electrolyte level in the batteries and
top up with distilled water until it reaches the level
indicator in the battery. Maintenance charge the
battery to prevent discharging, use the battery
charger that comes with the machine. This handles
the charge automatically and keeps the battery in
good condition.
14.3 Before Taking into Service
Check that the connections on the battery are
clean and tight.
Check the level of charge and recharge if
necessary.
WARNING!
Take care when handling battery
acid. Acid on the skin can cause
serious corrosive injuries. In case
of contact with the skin, wash
immediately with water.
The battery generates explosive
gases. Sparks, flames, and
cigarettes must not be present in
the vicinity of the battery.
WARNING!
The battery contains lead and lead
contaminants, chemicals that are
considered to cause cancer, birth
defects, and other damage to the
reproductive system. Wash your
hands after touching the battery.
WARNING!
Never connect the battery terminal
to keys, coins, screws or other
metal as this may short-circuit the
battery. Unused batteries must be
kept away from metal objects such
as nails, coins, jewelery.
Rider Battery is equipped with three 12V, 125 Ah
lead/acid batteries.
that must be maintained for correct function and
service life.
