gas. Keep the hood open when charging the batteries and perform this procedure in well-ventilated areas
and away from naked flames.
–
When WET batteries are installed on the machine, do not tilt the machine for more than 30° from the
horizontal plane to prevent the highly corrosive acid from leaking out of the batteries. When the machine is
