With the battery charged, a density of 30÷32 Bé, corresponding to a specific weight of 1.26÷1.28, must
be at a minimum temperature of 15° C.
A density reading below 20° Bé indicates that the battery is completely flat and must therefore be
recharged..
If the vehicle is not be used for a certain time (1 month or more), the battery needs to be recharged
periodically.
The battery runs down completely in about three months. Should the battery be fitted on a vehicle, be
careful not to invert the connections, keeping in mind that the (black) earth wire marked (-) is connected
to the - negative terminal whereas the other two red wires marked (+) are connected to the + posi-
tive terminal.
Battery recharge
WARNING
BEFORE RECHARGING THE BATTERY, REMOVE THE CAPS OF EACH CELL. KEEP NAKED
FLAMES OR SPARKS AWAY FROM THE BATTERY WHILE CHARGING.
First detach the negative terminal before removing the battery from the vehicle.
Normal bench charging must be performed using the special battery charger, setting the battery charge
selector to the type of battery that requires recharging (that is, at a current equal to 1/10 of the battery
rated capacity). Connections to the power supply source must be implemented by connecting corre-
sponding poles (+ to + and - to -).
The battery should always be kept clean, especially its top side, and the terminals should be coated
with petroleum jelly.
CAUTION
NEVER USE FUSES WITH A CAPACITY HIGHER THAN THE RECOMMENDED CAPACITY. USING
A FUSE OF UNSUITABLE RATING MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE VEHICLE OR EVEN CAUSE
A FIRE.
CAUTION
ORDINARY DRINKING WATER CONTAINS MINERAL SALTS THAT ARE HARMFUL TO THE BAT-
TERY. CONSEQUENTLY, ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER.
CAUTION
TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED BEFORE USE.
INADEQUATE CHARGING OF THE BATTERY BEFORE BEING PUT INTO OPERATION SHORT-
ENS BATTERY LIFE.
