Filling batteries with acid.
Pay particular attention when you are handling sulphuric acid.
This substance is corrosive. If it comes into contact with your
skin or eyes, wash with plenty of fresh water and seek medical
assistance.
Batteries must be filled in a ventilated area.
Fill the cells (or single elements) of the batteries with acid. The
correct level is indicated in the battery instruction handbooks.
After an hour, top up the cells, if necessary, with more acid.
Let the batteries rest – with the machine stopped – for another
hour and then refill, in accordance to the instructions given in
the handbook provided with the battery (refer to the
"MAINTENANCE" section). During the charging operations, all
battery caps must be open.
3- If the machine has been supplied without batteries, these
must be purchased and installed accordingly.
Competent battery specialists should preferably be contacted
to choose and install the new batteries.
