Accumulator battery maintenance

PCLPN099
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!
1. When working with the battery first read the attached manual.
2. During work with the battery protect your eyes with goggles or a safety shield!
3. The electrolyte is a caustic substance; therefore, handle it with proper care.If your skin or clothes
get stained by electrolyte, wash the skin or clothes with water and neutralize them with soap.
4. During charging hydrogen is released from the electrolyte on the electrodes. Hydrogen mixed with
the air forms an explosive mixture. Therefore, it is prohibited to handle open fire near the battery
during charging.
5. An explosion may also be caused by a spark created on the disconnection or release of a terminal
when the charging circuit is on.
6. Keep the battery out of reach of children!
7. 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.
