DANGER
Risk of fire and explosion!
 Risk of explosion! Do not put tools or
similar on the battery, i.e. on the termi-
nal poles and cell connectors.
 Smoking and open flames must be
strictly avoided.
 Rooms where batteries are charged
must have good ventilation because
highly explosive gas is emitted during
charging.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
 Ensure that wounds never come into
contact with lead. Always clean your
hands after working on batteries.
Danger of causticization!
 Rinse thoroughly with lots of clear water
if acid gets into the eye or comes in con-
tact with the skin.
 Then consult a doctor immediately.
 Wash off the acid If it comes in contact
with the clothes.
 Change clothing.
Installing and connecting the battery
 Insert battery in battery mount.
 Screw on mounts on battery base.
 Connect pole terminal (red cable) to
positive pole (+).
 Connect pole terminal to negative pole
(-).
 Attach the pole covers.
Note: Check that the battery pole and pole
terminals are adequately protected with
pole grease.

Check and correct the fluid level of the
battery (only for low-maintenance
batteries)
CAUTION
Regularly check the fluid level in acid-filled
batteries.
– The acid in a fully charged battery has a
specific weight of 1.28 kg/l at a temper-
ature of 20 °C.
– The acid in a partially discharged bat-
tery has a specific weight between 1.00
and 1.28 kg/l.
– The specific weight of the acid must be
uniform in all cells.
 Unscrew all cell caps.
 Take a sample from each cell using the
acid tester.
 Put the acid sample back into the same
cell.
 Where fluid level is too low, top up cells
to the mark provided with distilled wa-
ter.
 Charge battery.
 Screw in cell caps.
Charging battery
Danger
Risk of injury! Comply with safety regula-
tions on the handling of batteries. Observe
the directions provided by the manufacturer
of the charger.
Danger
Charge the battery only with an appropriate
charger.
 Unscrew all cell caps.
(only with low-maintenance battery)
 Connect positive terminal cable from
the charger to the positive pole connec-
tion on the battery.
 Connect negative terminal cable from
the charger to the negative pole con-
nection on the battery.
 Plug in mains connector and switch on
charger.
 Charge battery using lowest possible
level of charging current.
Note: When the battery is charged, first re-
move the charger from the mains and then
disconnect it from the battery.
Remove the battery
 Disconnect pole terminal to negative
pole (-).
 Disconnect pole terminal to positive
pole (+).
 Loosen the mounts on battery base.
 Remove the battery from the battery
holder.
 Dispose of the used battery according
to the local provisions.
Check engine oil level and top up, if
required
Danger
Risk of burns!
 Allow engine to cool down.
 Wait for at least 5 minutes after switch-
ing off the engine before checking the
engine oil fill level.

1 Oil dipstick
2 Screw cap, oil fill opening
 Pull out oil dipstick.
 Wipe off oil dipstick and insert.
 Pull out oil dipstick.
 Read the value of the oil level.
 Insert the oil dip again.
– The oil level must lie between "MIN"
and "MAX" marking.
– Add motor oil if the oil level is below the
"MIN" marking.
– Do not fill oil above the "MAX" marking.
 Loosen the screw cap of the oil filling
opening.
 Fill in motor oil.
For oil type refer to Chapter "Technical
specifications".
 Close oil filler opening.
 Wait at least 5 minutes.
