Disconnecting and connecting the terminals, as well as changing the liv-
ing area battery shall only be carried out by qualified personnel. In the
event of an incorrect connection, there is the risk of short circuit and fire
due to rubbing cables. To reach the living area battery, the seat as well
as its turning device must be removed. These components are security
related and shall be fitted professionally with screw lock and complying
with defined tightening torques.
Prior to commencing a journey ensure the living area battery is fully
charged. For this reason charge the living area battery for at least
20 hours before commencing the journey.
During the trip, use every opportunity to charge the living area battery.
After the trip, charge the living area battery fully.
Charge the battery for at least 20 hours before laying up.
Use the charger module provided on the transformer/rectifier to charge
the living area battery. When charging externally, use a regulated
charger that is suitable for the battery type and the capacity of the living
area battery.
For long periods of inactivity (4 weeks or more), either disconnect the liv-
ing area battery from the 12 V power supply or recharge it regularly.
When changing the living area battery, only use batteries of the same
type with the same specification as the originally installed battery. Only
use a different battery after authorisation by the manufacturer of the ve-
hicle.
Before disconnecting or connecting the terminals of the battery, switch
off the vehicle engine as well as the 230 V and 12 V power supplies and
all appliances. Danger of short circuit!
Do not actuate the ignition if the terminals of the battery are discon-
nected. Danger of short circuit!

tions.
The battery is maintenance-free. Maintenance-free means:
It is not necessary to check the acid level.
It is not necessary to lubricate the battery poles.
It is not necessary to refill the distilled water.
Even a maintenance-free battery must be recharged.
Recommendation: Perform a full charging cycle every 6 to 8 weeks. De-
pending on the battery capacity and the charger, the charging cycle will
last 24 to 48 hours.
The living area battery is installed in the driver's area below the right-hand
seat.
The living area battery is discharged by the closed circuit current which
some electrical appliances continuously require.
Total discharge damages the battery. The consequence may be defor-
mation, heat development, and damage due to scorching.
