is supplied
(Battery with filler plugs)
Remove the filler plugs of the
battery cells (Fig. 3b).
Fill each cell slowly with battery
acid up to 1 cm below the filling
opening.
Let the lead in the battery absorb
the battery acid for thirty minutes.
Check the level of the battery
acid, add more if necessary.
Before using the battery for
the first time, charge it using
a battery charger (max. charging
current 12 Volt/6 Ampere) for
2 to 6 hours. After charging the
battery, first pull out the battery
charger plug, then disconnect the
battery (see also operating
instructions for the battery
charger).
Re-insert the filler plugs of the
battery cells.
Install the battery in the
appliance.
Remove the strip seal from the
battery vent. Connect the venting
hose so that the free end points
downwards in the appliance.
The hose must always allow free
passage! (Fig. 3c)
First connect the red cable (+),
and then the black cable (–).
Thereafter, use only distilled
water to top up the battery
(check every 2 months).
Keep the battery clean.
