2.3 Battery
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V

maintenance that is required is charging, for exam-
ple after extended storage.
After charging the battery must be stored in a cool
place.

2.3.2 Charging with the engine
The battery can also be charged using the engine's
generator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown be-
low.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac-
tion device for the exhaust fumes.
3. Start the engine according to the instructions in
the user guide.
4. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45
minutes.
5. Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully
charged.
Do not short circuit the battery's termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which
can come into contact with the battery
terminals.
In the event of damage to the battery
casing, cover, terminals or damage to
the strip covering the valves, the bat-
tery should be replaced.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The
battery must always be stored fully
charged. If the battery is stored while
discharged, serious damage will occur.
