• Check the electrolyte level every 250 working
hours; if necessary, add distilled water.
• Ensure the fluid is 5÷6 mm above the plates and
the cell levels are correct.
• Check the cable clips are well secured to the
battery terminals. To tighten the clips, always use
a box wrench, never pliers.
• Protect the terminals smearing them with pure
vaseline.
• Remove the battery and store it in a dry place,
when the machine is not used for a long time.
WARNING
• Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. It
can burn you if it touches your skin and eyes.
Always wear goggles and protective gloves,
and handle the battery with caution to prevent
spillage. Keep metal objects (watch straps,
rings, necklaces) clear of the battery leads,
since they can short the terminals and burn
you.
• Because the electrolyte is highly corrosive, it
must never come in contact with the frame of
the handler or electric/electronic parts. If the
electrolyte comes in contact with these parts,
contact the nearest authorised assistance
centre.
