Care of batteries
!
Please note the following points:
I Dirty terminal clamps and battery surfaces
cause leaks, which lead to the batteries dis-
charging. Always keep the terminal clamps
and battery surfaces clean and dry. Lightly
grease the terminal clamps, particularly the
undersides, with acid-proof grease.
I Cleaning agents containing fuel corrode the
battery housing. Only clean with commer-
cially available cleaning agents and only
clean the battery casing with the cell caps
screwed in. Otherwise, dirt could get into
the battery cells.
I The vent holes in the cell caps must be un-
obstructed and the cell ventilation hoses
must not be blocked. Otherwise, gas cannot
escape. Clean blocked vent holes with a
suitable implement, e.g. a piece of wire.
You must unscrew the cell caps first. There
is otherwise a risk of a short circuit.
Check the terminal clamps and the fasten-
I
ing of the negative cable to the chassis at
regular intervals to ensure that they are cor-
rectly seated.
I Batteries which are out of use should be re-
charged once a month.
