CHECKING
It is recommended to check the following:

- cracks or breaches of the battery box (case);
- the battery upper part cleanness;
- the plugs condition.

It is required to strictly check the following:

- lack of plugs sulfate composite;
- proceed, is necessary to their cleaning and greasing;
- check the correct wiring plugs tightening at the battery plugs. The existence of an imperfect

contact may generate incidents at engine starting or at battery charging, sparks producing risk
being possible to  occur, which may cause the battery  explosion;

- check the electrolyte level.

For the batteries provided with access plugs, which may be dismounted, proceed as follows:

- remove the plugs;
- check the electrolyte level in each element;
- if necessary, refill the level, using only distilled water, till maximum 1.5 cm above the plates.

ATTENTION
Never fill up with electrolyte, but only with distilled water.

PRECAUTIONS

It is important to know that:

- the battery contains sulfuric acid which is a dangerous substance;
- during battery charging, oxygen and hydrogen are produced. The mixture of these two

gases is forming a detonate gas, which may lead to the explosion risk.

1. DANGER = ACID

The sulfuric acid solution is a very aggressive, toxic and corrosive product. This is attacking

the skin, the clothes and may lead to the corrosion of most of the metals.

Also, it is very important, that, when you handle a battery, to consider the following precautions:

- protect the eyes by  using protective glasses;
- wear anti-acid gloves and clothes.

ATTENTION

 In case of acid slashes on body, abundantly wash with water all affected parts.

If eyes have been touched, urgently call for a doctor.

1. DANGER = EXPLOSION RISK

During battery charging, connected to a charger-rectifier, oxygen and hydrogen emissions are

occurring. These gases emission is stronger when the battery has reached the complete charge
condition and the produced gas quantity is in direct connection with the charging current.

The oxygen and hydrogen are associating in the free spaces, at the plates surface, forming a

detonate mixture, which is very explosive. The littlest spark is sufficient to generate an explosion,
followed by the battery case brooking and acid splashing in the  proximate  environment. The
persons, who are around, are in danger to be hurt by the exploded case chips or by the acid,
which may come in  contact with  the eyes, hands, or  face.

ATTENTION
Strictly observe the following recommendations:

- before connecting or reconnecting a battery, ensure that all consumers are

shouted off;

- during battery charging in a room, using a charger-rectifier, turn it off before

connecting or reconnecting the battery to this one;

- do not place metallic objects on the battery for not producing a short-circuit

between its plugs;

- never bring closer to a battery, an open flame, a welding lamp or another fire

source.

THE ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT PROTECTION

In case of an intervention on the vehicle, some measures must be taken, for the electric equip-

ment protection against damages or for avoiding a short-circuit that may lead to vehicle firing. The
battery is to be allwith disconnected by  first disconnecting the negative plug and then the positive
one. Connection is to be done by performing the disconnecting operations in the reverse order.

Before starter  acting, check if  the battery  is correctly connected (the negative plug  connected

to the ground), and if the plugs are clean and well tightened. Never disconnect the battery when
the engine is running, in order not to damage the voltage regulator, the alternator or  some
components of the vehicle checking electronic systems. The alternator, voltage regulator
disconnecting, and the interventions at their connections, are to be performed only when the
engine is stopped (the alternator is not turning) and the contact is taken off.

In case the battery is connected to a charger-rectifier, for charging (without dismounting the

battery off the vehicle), it is obligatory to disconnect the wiring from the battery plugs.
