6.8 Battery
Do not short circuit the battery's termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which
can come into contact with the battery
terminals.
In the event of damage to the battery
casing, cover, terminals or damage to
the strip covering the valves, the bat-
tery should be replaced.
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V
nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to
and cannot be checked or topped up. The only
maintenance that is required is charging, for exam-
ple after extended storage.

erator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown be-
low.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac-
tion device for the exhaust fumes.
3. Start the engine according to the instructions in
the user guide.
4. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45
minutes.

• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-
ble from the battery's negative terminal (-).
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery's
positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable
to the battery's positive terminal (+). Then con-
