of the rated capacity, privileging a slow charge, for about 10 hours or until the absorbed current is not
reduced to a few mA and the voltage is about 13.5 V. It is recommended not to provide higher currents or a
fast charge that could speed up the sulphation process to the plates.
The charging operations and battery maintenance can be carried out calmly, in accordance with the basic
safety standards, using fully automatic battery chargers, which can provide current according to the
nominal capacity and start full charge maintenance once the charging process is completed.
Maintenance
If a period of downtime is foreseen and the battery is not to be used for a long time, its efficiency and
charge are kept unchanged over time by connecting it to a charge controller without necessarily
disassembling it from the machine. The charge is maintained by supplying the battery with a constant
voltage current of a few milliamps for the entire period of inactivity.
Start-up using an external battery
If the machine must be started with an external battery pay special attention so risks that may be major
might be encountered. Do not proceed if you are not fully aware of the activity to be carried out.
Use only batteries of the same voltage and capacity (or greater capacity).
STRICTLY avoid accidental contact between opposite poles when connecting the cables in order to prevent
sparks, priming of flames or explosions.
The cables must be suitable for the purpose and not worn so as to minimise the resistance.
Proceed as follows:
1. "Donor" machine engine off
2. Uncover the plastic protective parts of the poles of both batteries (the "donor" and "receiver")
3. Interconnect the positive poles of the two batteries (+ with + // with the red cable)
4. Interconnect the negative poles of the two batteries (- with - // with the black cable)
5. Start-up the engine of the "donor" machine and allow it to reach a medium/high speed
6. Start-up the engine of the "receiving" machine
7. With the "receiving" machine started up, first disconnect the negative cable (black/ - with -) and
then the positive (red/ + with +), first disconnecting the pole of the "donor" battery and then that
of the "receiving" battery for both cables.
8. Replace the plastic protective parts on the poles of both batteries
Replacement
If the battery must be replaced due to a malfunction or end of service life, it is advisable to contact an
authorised workshop.
If you decide to do so autonomously, it is recommended to follow a few simple tips:
•
Make sure the control panel and no accessory is on
•
Remove the cover as described in the "inspection" part.
•
Remove the plastic protective parts of the poles
•
First disconnect the negative terminal and then the positive terminal
•
Release the retaining belt, lift the battery (the battery weighs over 30 kg so it is recommended to
have at least two people do this) and remove it
•
Clean the battery compartment from any leaves, dirt or oxide
