Maintenance
Battery
Battery acid is highly caustic!
Caustic injury hazard!
Therefore when recharging and/or working near the battery:
☞ Always wear safety glasses and protective clothing with long sleeves
If acid is spilled:
☞ Thoroughly rinse all affected surfaces immediately with plenty of water
☞ Thoroughly wash any part of the body touched by the acid immediately with
plenty of water and seek medical attention at once!
Especially when charging batteries, as well as during normal operation of
batteries, an oxyhydrogen mixture is formed in the battery cells –
Explosion hazard!
The battery contains sulfuric acid! This acid must not be allowed to come into
contact with the skin, the eyes, clothing or the machine.
☞ Do not use open flames near open battery cells, avoid sparks close by and
do not smoke – otherwise the gas that is also produced during normal bat-
tery operation (not only during battery charging) could ignite!
☞ Do not attempt to jump-start the machine if the battery is frozen or if the
acid level is low. The battery can burst or explode!
• Replace the battery immediately
☞ Always disconnect the negative terminal (–) from the battery before starting
repair work on the electrical system!
Battery A is located behind the rear left side trim. The battery is “maintenance-free”. How-
ever check it at regular intervals to ensure that the electrolyte level is between the MIN and
MAX marks.
Checking the battery requires it to be removed and must be performed by a Wacker Neu-
son service center.
Always follow the specific battery safety instructions!
Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is running!
