USER'S INSTRUCTIONS

This battery is an airtight battery with a rated

12V voltage controlled by valves. It does not

require any checking of the electrolyte level or

any topping up. If the battery is not used for a

long time, recharge it at least every three

months.

Safety instructions

1. Read the instructions before using the battery.

2. Explosion danger. All batteries, while being

charged, develop flammable gases that, if trig-

gered, could cause the battery to explode.

3. Wear safety goggles. Gases may cause injuries

or blindness.

4. Corrosion danger. Please remind that the elec-

trolyte is a diluted solution of sulphuric acid: in

case of contact with your skin, wash thorough-

ly with water. If contact is made with your eyes,

after washing them thoroughly with water, seek

immediate medical advice.

Use

• Never remove the strip on the top of the cover.

• If there are breakages of the block, cover, or ter-

minals or if the valve housing strip has been tam-

pered with, REPLACE THE BATTERY.

• If the machine is idle for over a month, remove

the battery and store it in a dry and safe place.

• Recharge the battery completely before rein-

stalling it.

• Always recharge the battery prior to its first use,

especially after lengthy periods of storage

(before the machine is sold).

• When not in use, keep charge level using the

specific maintenance battery charger (if includ-

ed).

Recharging methods

To check the charge status, measure the voltage

using a voltmeter. The battery (after it has been

recharged) must be resting for at least 12 hours.

Recharge the battery, with an open circuit volt-

age lower than 12.6 V. If a battery is left dis-

charged for over a month, it may suffer damage.

Should an operation fault occur, have the machine's electric system checked and the battery charged

if it is flat. Any battery which is defective after being charged shall be covered by the warranty terms

and conditions applied by the sale network. In any case, the warranty shall not apply where the defect

is caused by improper maintenance or tampering.

5. During charging operations avoid any sparks,

open flames and lit cigarettes.

6. Keep out of the reach of children.

7. This is a recyclable product. It contains lead. Do

not discard it in the environment and dispose of

in compliance with the laws in force.

• Recharge only with a constant voltage battery

charger. If a conventional battery charger (for

cars) is used, the battery may suffer damage.

• Make sure that the connection between the bat-

tery terminals and the battery charger are cor-

rect.

• To recharge the battery, follow the instructions

below:

Normal charge (at constant voltage):

Constant voltage

Max initial current

Charge length

Battery charging in extreme conditions

If the batteries are fully depleted and have been left

uncharged for prolonged periods (> 15 days) we

recommend you charge the batteries at 0.5-f 1.0 A

constant voltage for at least 10 – 12 hours and then

slow charge (at constant voltage) as described

above.
