4.8.1.e CHECKING THE BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL
WARNING
q
Check the battery charge level only with the engine at rest.
q
To prevent gas explosions, do not use naked flames, do not smoke and avoid producing sparks due to
short circuits.
q
The battery electrolyte is dangerous: in case of contact with the eyes or the skin, wash with plenty of
running water and consult a doctor. The battery is maintenance-free.
IMPORTANT
q
Make sure that the connection terminals are not oxidized; if necessary, clean them and cover them with
anti-oxidation grease.
The battery (1) can be reached after opening the engine hood
(see "3.5.1 ENGINE HOOD".
A visual indicator (2) signals the battery charge level with dif-
ferent colours, according to the table positioned beside the in-
dicator:
q
Green: the charge is correct
q
Grey: the battery needs recharging
q
White: the battery must be changed
CAUTION
q
If it is necessary to work on the battery, lift the loader
arm and secure it with the safety lock, proceeding as in-
dicated in paragraph "3.1.1 LOADER LOCKS".
q
If a dry battery is installed, check the electrolyte level,
which must be approximately 6 mm above the plate
edge; if necessary, top up using distilled water only.
If, on the contrary, the level is low because some elec-
trolyte has been spilt, add sulphuric acid, diluted as
much as necessary to reach the concentration suitable
for the ambient temperature (see "3.11.3 BATTERY").
q
It is advisable to add distilled water before starting
work, in order to prevent it from freezing.
q
Before putting back the cell plugs, make sure that the
breather holes are not clogged.
