Removal and installation
Always take the following
precautions when removing
and refitting a battery:
• The current and capacity of any
battery must correspond with
that of the old battery. Contact an
Authorised Dealer for correct bat-
tery specifications.
• With the ignition and all electrical
equipment switched off, remove
the negative (-) cable first.
• Take great care to avoid simul-
taneous contact of both battery
poles with metal tools or inadver-
tent contact between the positive
pole and the vehicle bodywork.
The resulting short circuit will
produce sparks and could cause
injury and damage to the vehicle.
• Avoid sparks and naked flames.
Do not smoke. The explosive
gases as well as sulphuric acid
from the battery can cause injury.
• When reconnecting a battery
always connect the positive (+)
cable first and then the negative
cable.
Used batteries contain,
amongst other things, sulphuric
acid and lead. On no account
must they be disposed of in
the household refuse waste.
Contact you local Authorised
Dealer for advice.
