DANGER
Danger of causticization!
 Adding water to the battery in its dis-
charged state can cause the acid to
leak.
 Wear protective glasses and protective
clothing when handling battery acid.
Observe the regulations concerning the
handling of batteries!
WARNING
Risk of damage!
 Use only distilled or desalinated water
(EN 50272-T3) for filling the battery.
 Do not add any substances (so-called
performance improving agents), else
warranty claims will not be entertained.
Information concerning accidents with a
risk of chemical burns
 Rinse thoroughly with lots of clear water
if acid gets into the eye or comes in con-
tact with the skin.
 Then consult a doctor immediately.

charger: Pull the battery cable from the
charger cable and connect it to the ap-
pliance.
Check and correct the fluid level of the
battery (only for low-maintenance
batteries)
Regularly check the fluid level in acid-filled
batteries.
– The acid in a fully charged battery has a
specific weight of 1.28 kg/l at a temper-
ature of 20 °C.
– The acid in a partially discharged bat-
tery has a specific weight between 1.00
and 1.28 kg/l.
– The specific weight of the acid must be
uniform in all cells.
 Unscrew all cell caps.
 Take a sample from each cell using the
acid tester.
 Put the acid sample back into the same
cell.
 Where fluid level is too low, top up cells
to the mark provided with distilled wa-
ter.
 Charge battery.
 Screw in cell caps.
