ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTMENTS

Connecting the battery

The hydraulic unit is supplied with no battery cables
connected.
The original battery is maintenance free. Do not attempt to
open or remove caps or covers. It is usually not necessary to
check or adjust the level of electrolyte.
Replace only with a similar maintenance-free battery. See
information in the Technical data section.
WARNING! Lead-acid batteries produce
!
explosive gases. Avoid sparks, open flames
and smoking close to batteries.
Connecting or disconnecting the battery
may cause sparks and short circuits. Never
connect the battery terminals to keys, coins,
screws or other metal as this may short-
circuit the battery.
Batteries emit explosive gas. Sparks, flames
and cigarettes must absolutely not be
brought into the vicinity of the battery.
Unused batteries must be kept away from
metal objects such as nails, coins, jewellery.
Remove metal bracelets, watches, rings,
etc., before connecting the battery. Wear
gloves and protective goggles or a dust
mask when working with the battery.

1 Loosen the two knobs at the front of the support foot. Pull
out the battery using the two holes on the front edge. This
