Replacing Battery - Ikco SAMAND Owner's Manual

Warning
Batteries contain acid, which is
corrosive and poisonous. Consider the
following points on leakage: If it spills on
your clothes or skin, immediately put off
the contaminated clothes, and flush the
contacted skin with a lot of water, and
refer to the physician.
-In an eye contact immediately, flush it
with clean water for at least 15 minutes,
and refer to the physician urgently.
-It could be fatal to drink battery acid,
if medical attention is not immediately
taken.
-Working batteries emit explosive
gases; keep away fire and sparks from
the engine compartment.
-Put off the metal wristbands and
jewelry before working in the engine
compartment. Never let tools or metal
object contacting battery poles and
terminals.
Caution
If the car stops more than 6 days, it
should be switch on at least one time
and for an hour.
Detaching the battery
Turn off the alarm before disconnecting
the battery, and make sure that the ignition
switch is off. At first, detach negative cable
(-) and then the positive (+ )cable. Attach the
positive cable and then the negative cable
on to reconnect the battery. Do not let the
battery poles have any connection with the
bodywork or metal parts. Unscrew the nuts
supporting battery clamps, and then take
the clamps to remove the battery. When
replacing fit the battery and its clamps right
in position (the poles towards the engine),
and then tighten the nuts of the clamps so
as to stabilize the battery unit, while avoiding
over tightening of them.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT

Replacing battery

Always use batteries of the same type and
of the original specification. Other types
may vary in size or terminal positions, which
may have fire danger when connecting to
the car electrical system.
Caution
- Do not charge battery when connected
to the car. This could seriously damage
the electrical system.
- It is better to check the distilled
water and acid level once a month if
the battery lids are removable. If the
level is less than recommended, the
needed amount should be added.
Warning
-Do not change the battery suspected
of being frozen.
-Take sparks and fires away from the
battery when charging (charged or
incharge batteries generate inflammable
hydrogen).
-After charging the battery and before
connecting to the car, wait for one hour
so that inflammable gases exit and
therefore the risk of ignition is reduced.
