- to charge the battery, remove it from the vehicle and unscrew
filler plugs;
- the battery must be charged in a well-ventilated room. Electrolyte
fume accumulation is dangerous to health and explosive.
Accumulator battery 2 (Fig. 9.29) is installed on a bracket
under the hood of the motor vehicle.
Check the alternator operation if the accumulator battery is
discharged, overcharged by the alternator or electrolyte starts
boiling.
Keep the accumulator battery clean and charged and protect
the battery clips and the cable terminals from oxidation.
Periodically clean vent orifices in the plug, check electrolyte
level and add distilled water as required.
Before operation, correct electrolyte density corresponding to
the climate area of the motor vehicle operation (see the Battery
operating manual).
At the factory the motor vehicle is installed with the
accumulator battery, the density of which is 1.28±0.01 g/cm3.
Do not allow continuous battery discharge by a large current
(when starting a cold engine in winter time).
Thoroughly prepare the engine for starting and turn on the
starter only for a short period of time — no more than 5 sec.
Operate the accumulator battery in correspondence with the
Battery Operating Manual, enclosed in the vehicle.
Starter
Periodically do the following:
- check the bolts that mount the starter to the engine for
tightening and clean them;
- check starter terminal ends for cleanliness and mounting
security
Turn off the accumulator battery while removing the starter
for maintenance.
Once the starter has been removed:
- check the relay switch outputs and the working surface of
electric terminals;
- check the starter drive — a gear, a lever and a spring;
- clean the rubbing details from dirt and lubricate them with
Litol-24 grease as required.
