ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
For battery efficiency (Fig. 70) it is very
important that the correct load of acid be
observed and that maintenance be car-
ried out properly. If the following instructions are
scrupulously observed, the battery life will be
considerably prolonged.
Preparing the vehicle for the road, charging the bat-
tery:
It is important to let the battery sit for at least 3 -
◆
4 hours after filling it with the solution of sulphuric
acid and distilled water, to allow the chemical re-
action to be completed.
Then, before 24 hours are up, battery charging
◆
should be completed by subjecting it to a current
of around 10 to 20% of the rated capacity (for 5 Ah
batteries, current 0,5 ... 1 A max.).
If this period is not respected, a sulphation reac-
◆
tion begins in the plates which considerably short-
ens their lives.
The liquid in the battery is toxic and
therefore dangerous. Avoid contact with
the skin, eyes and clothes.
In the event of contact of the electrolytic solution
with the skin or eyes, rinse abundantly with cold
water and consult a doctor.
