Electrical System
Inspect and check the machine’s electrical
equipment at regular intervals. Defects, such as
loose connections or scorched cables much be
repaired before using the machine.
Only use proper, original equipment fuses with
the specified current rating. Turn off the
machine immediately if there are any problems
with the electrical system.
Work on the machine’s electrical system must
be done only by a trained technician.
Battery
Before servicing the battery or electrical
system, disconnect the negative cable from the
negative battery terminal, or if the machine is
equipped with a battery disconnect switch, turn
the switch to the “OFF” position.
Explosive gas is produced while a battery is in
use or being charged. Keep flames or sparks
away from the battery area. ALWAYS charge the
battery in a well-ventilated area.
Do not jump-start a frozen battery, or it may
explode. A discharged battery can freeze at 0°C
(32°F).
To prevent short circuits keep metal parts on
your clothing and metal watchbands away from
the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
Never lay a metal object on top of a battery,
because a short circuit can result. Battery acid
is harmful to skin and fabrics. If acid spills,
follow these first-aid tips:
• If battery acid spills on any clothing,
remove it immediately.
• If acid contacts skin, rinse the affected
area with running water for 10 to 15 minutes.
• If acid contacts eyes, flood eyes with
running water for 10 to 15 minutes. See a
doctor at once. Never use any medication or
eye drops unless prescribed by the doctor.
• To neutralize acid spilled on the floor, use
one of the following mixtures:
• 0.5 kg (1 lbs.) of baking soda in 4 L (4
qts.) of water.
• 0.5 L (0.5 qts.) of household ammonia
in 4 L (4 qts.) of water.
