• turn on the battery charger. At the end of the charging process,
switch the battery charger off;
• after having disconnected the charging device, reconnect the
connector (A) to the sensor (C).
ATTENTION
• Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with the
skin and eyes. Keep open flames away from the battery and do
not use objects that might create sparks: risk of explosion and
fire.
• Always wear appropriate goggles to protect your eyes when
working on or near the battery.
• Do not attempt to recharge a frozen battery: first it must be
thawed, otherwise there is a risk of explosion.
If freezing has occurred, the battery should be checked by
specialised technicians to make sure that the internal elements
are not damaged and that the body is not cracked, with the risk
of leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
IMPORTANT
Batteries contain substances which are very harmful for the
environment.
Operate in accordance with local legislation for disposing the
batteries.
