Contact specialised technical staff if the battery needs recharging.
Have the efficiency of the battery recharging system tested if a
voltage of less than 11 V (for 12 V rated systems) or 22 V (for
24 V rated systems) is detected with the engine running.
On this occasion, make sure that the terminals and clamps are
clean, properly locked and protected by vaseline.
Some types of battery have
a single cover for all the
inspection plugs. To access
the elements, use a lever as
shown in the figure.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the filter by loosening the screws (4) indicated in the
figure.
Blow dehumidified compressed air through the filter element, from
the inside outward (maximum pressure 200 kPa), or wash with
water only. Do not use detergents;
do not use diesel
.
Replace the filter if any breakages are found.
Replace the filter once every 2 years.
Restore normal operating conditions after positioning the filter in
its housing.
CAUTION!
The batteries contain sulphuric acid, which is
extremely caustic and corrosive; always wear protective
gloves and goggles when topping them up. Whenever
possible it is recommended that this control be carried
out by specialised personnel.
Do not smoke or use live flames near the batteries
during controls, and make sure that the room you are
working in is adequately ventilated.
