STORAGE BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Keep the storage battery clean, well
fixed to the vehicle. The fixing device
may not, nevertheless, deform the stor-
age battery vessel. The level of electro-
lyte in the polypropylene batteries may
not descend below the marks of mini-
mum as marked on the vessel.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Replenish the electrolyte with distilled water only!
1. Before handling the battery, read its instructions!
2. When handling the battery, protect your eyes with goggles or protecting
shileds!
3. Electrolyte is a caustic agent, therefore be careful when handling the
electrolyte! Wash your skin contaminated with electrolyte with water and neu-
tralize it with soap and water as well as your clothing..
4. While charging, the electrolyte on the electrodes releases hydrogen,
which – when mixed with air – makes and explosive mixture. Therefore it is
forbidden to handle the open flame when charging the storage battery!
5. Explosion may even be caused with a spark when disconnecting or re-
leasing the terminals with the charging circuit switched on.!
6. Protect children against the battery contents.!
7. Any scrapped storage battery is an ecologically dangerous waste –
therefor when buying a new storage battery, return the old one to the sales
clerk for safe disposal.
