BATTERY: troubleshooting
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any consumers are
switched off before disconnecting or
reconnecting the battery.
– When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the
battery as this could create a short
circuit between the terminals.
– Wait at least 20 seconds after switch-
ing off the engine to disconnect the

battery.

– Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not
come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot during operations in close proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may start at any moment. Risk of injury.
