Battery care
!
Please always observe the following
notes:
R
dirty battery clamps and battery surfaces
cause leak currents, which lead to the
batteries discharging. Always keep the
battery terminals and battery surfaces
clean and dry. Grease the battery
terminals, particularly the terminal
undersides, with a light coating of acid-
resistant grease.
R
cleaning agents containing fuel corrode
the battery housing. Only clean the
battery housing with commercially
available cleaning agents.
R
only clean the batteries when the caps
are screwed on. Dirt may otherwise enter
the battery cells and damage the battery.
R
the breathers in the caps and the cell
ventilation tubes must be open.
Otherwise, gas cannot escape. Unscrew
blocked breathers and clean them with a
suitable tool such as a piece of wire. If
you do not unscrew the caps for cleaning,
there is a risk of short circuit.
R
regularly check the battery terminals and
the fastening of the negative cable to the
chassis to ensure that they are firmly
seated.
R
if batteries are not being used, you
should charge them once a month.
