Service and maintenance
INSPECTION OF THE BATTERY
The batteries are placed in the box on the right side of the machine.
The batteries are maintenance free.
• Keep the batteries clean.
• Remove the corrosion from the battery connections and ensure
that the cable connectors are tightened.
• Grease the battery poles with acid-free grease.
WARNING
The battery contains corrosive acid.
Always use necessary protective equipment.
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas when
being charged.
Ensure good ventilation and avoid sparks.
Short-circuiting the battery may lead to a fire or explosion.
Danger of serious personal injury or fatality.
The main power switch does not cut the power between the
alternator and the battery. When working with or in the
vicinity of the alternator, the negative cable for the battery
must be removed.
In order to reduce the risk of electric shock and personal
injuries, jewellery and other conductive material must always
be removed prior to working on the electrical system of the
machine.
The power may only be cut with the main power switch with
the engine running in an emergency.
