7. Work on the electrical
system
Batteries generate explosive gases.
Keep them away from naked flame and
sparks which could cause them to ignite.
Do not smoke.
Protect eyes, skin and cloth against the corro-
sive battery acid. Pour clear water over acid
splashes immediately. In case of emergency
call doctor.
Do not place any tools on top of the battery.
– Do not confuse the positive (+) and
negative (–) terminals of the battery.
– When fitting the battery, first connect up the
positive lead, then the negative lead.
Negative terminal to earth = engine block.
– When removing, first disconnect the negative
lead, then the positive lead.
– Always take care to avoid short-circuits and
earth (ground) contact of live cables.
– If malfunctions occur, first of all check that
cable connections make good contact.
– Replace a failed indicator light without delay.
– Do not remove the ignition key while the en-
gine is running.
– Do not disconnect the battery while the en-
gine is running.
– Do not spray water on to components of the
electrical system when cleaning the engine.
If this is unavoidable, disconnect the battery
first and carefully blow all components dry
before reconnecting.
– When carrying out welding work on the en-
gine or equipment, fit the earth clip of the
welding equipment as close to the welding
point as possible and disconnect the battery.
The connecting plug for the voltage regulator
must be removed.
The relevant circuit diagrams are enclosed with
the engine if it is equipped with an electrical sys-
tem. Additional circuit diagrams can be supplied
to order.
Electrical systems that do not comply with HATZ
circuit diagrams are excluded from warranty.
8. Storage out of use
The new engine can normally be stored dry for
up to one year.
In very humid climates or coastal regions, the
protective treatment is sufficient for up to about
6 months.
For longer periods of storage, please contact
your nearest HATZ service station.

Not applicable for the U.S.A. and Australia.
The right to claim under guarantee lasts for a
period of 12 up to 24 months (according to the

hours, depending which criteria are met first.
Warranty is granted according to the terms stat-
ed in our warranty agreements, details of which
are available from every HATZ service station.
