- The machine comes equipped with a maintenance-free battery that requires no regular
maintenance except the cleaning of the terminals and the recharging in case of a voltage drop.
Battery poles, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds, chemicals known to cause cancer and damage to the reproductive appara-
tus. Wash hands after handling.
Always remove battery before servicing.
1. Disconnect the negative cable first (1, «»),
then the positive cable (2, «»).
2. Unscrew the wing nut (3) and remove the
bracket (4) holding the battery (5) and remove
the battery from the machine.
Several different batteries can be as-
sembled on the machine that involve a different
composition of the hold-down bracket.
3. Connect the positive cable first (2, «»), then
the negative cable (1, «»).
4. Apply petroleum jelly or dielectric grease to battery cable ends and terminals.
This machine uses a hermetic recombination battery, in which the electrolyte of each ele-
ment is carefully dosed in the production phase and sealed at the origin, in order to ensure maxi-
mum efficiency during the entire life of the battery.
A hermetic recombination battery does not need to be refilled with water or acid, it
must never be opened and its cover must not be removed.
1. Inspect the top of the battery, terminals, cables, poles and the battery unit for any accumulation
of dirt, corrosion cracks or loose and broken parts. Keep the battery and its terminals clean.
Replace the battery if damaged.
2. Clean or service the battery after removing it from the machine. Remove corrosion from battery
terminals and cable connections with a wire brush, then wash with a weak baking soda solu-
tion.
