7. DEPLOYMENT OF THE BATTERY
Before putting the machine in operation for the first time, you should check if your machine is equipped with fully
charged battery acid battery dry charged.
7.1 DEPLOYMENT OF CHARGED WITH ACID BATTERY
The acid batteries charged ready for use and require no filling of acid.
7.2 DEPLOYMENT OF BATTERY DRY CHARGED
Measurement is as follows:
1) Remove the gaskets.
2) Fill each element of the battery with sulfuric acid of density 1.28 (or 1.23 for tropical countries).
3) Let the battery rest for about 30 minutes minimum charge is complete.
4) Check the electrolyte level of acid filling to the maximum level indicated on the battery.
5) Do not ever fill to the brim.
7.3 MAINTENANCE BATTERY
It will take into account:
• Check the connection terminals.
• Check regularly the electrolyte level if necessary add distilled or desmineralized water.
• Do not add acid in all cases.
• The battery must be recharged if the terminal voltage is below 12.3 V. (electrolyte density <1.25).
• In case of prolonged immobilization of the machine, disconnect the battery.
7.4 BATTERY SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The batteries carry a risk of explosion due to gases generated, and risk of corrosion due to acid they contain. Before
performing any operation on drums keep the following recommendations:
• Read the instruction manual recommendations
• Protect eyes with safety glasses
• No smoking, no flame or sparking occurs closer in handling
• Use rubber gloves
• Keep away from children
• Do not discharge into the environment
