ACCUMULATOR BATTERY MAINTENANCE

Keep the accumulator battery clean and properly fixed to the vehicle. However, the
fixing device must not deform the battery case. In the case of polypropylene batteries
the electrolyte level must not be below the minimum mark indicated on the case.
Only add distilled water to the battery!
When working with the battery, first read the attached manual!
1.
During work with the battery protect your eyes with goggles or a safety shield!
2.
The electrolyte is a caustic substance; therefore, handle it with proper care. If
3.
your skin or clothes get stained by electrolyte, wash the skin or clothes with wa-
ter and neutralize them with soap. Keep the battery out of reach of children!
During charging hydrogen is released from the electrolyte on the electrodes. Hy-
4.
drogen mixed with the air forms an explosive mixture. Therefore, it is prohibited
to handle open fire near the battery during charging.
An explosion may also be caused by a spark created on the disconnection or re-
5.
lease of a terminal when the charging circuit is on.
6. A discarded battery is dangerous waste for the environment - when buying a new
battery hand the old one over to the dealer, who will dispose of it free of charge.
An insufficiently charged battery may get frozen in winter!
