5.8 BATTERY

Never overcharge the battery. Over-

charging can damage the battery.

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 interference

to the strip covering the valves, the bat-

tery should be replaced.

The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V

nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to

and cannot be checked or topped up. The only

maintenance that is required is charging, for exam-

ple after extended storage.

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.

5.8.1 Charging with the engine

The battery can be charged using the engine’s gen-

erator 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.

5.8.2 Charging using battery charger

When charging using a battery charger, a battery

charger with constant voltage must be used.

Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger

with constant voltage.

The battery can be damaged if a standard type

battery charger is used.

5.8.3 Removal/Installation

The battery is placed under the engine casing. See

fig. 11. During removal/installation of the battery,

the following applies regarding connection of the

cables:

• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-

ble from the battery’s negative terminal (-).

Then disconnect the red cable from the bat-

tery’s positive terminal (+).

• During installation. First connect the red cable

to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then con-

nect the black cable to the battery’s negative

terminal (-).

If the cables are disconnected/connect-

ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of

a short-circuit and damage to the bat-

tery.

If the cables are interchanged, the gen-

erator and the battery will be damaged.

Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-

bles can cause a fire.

The engine must never be driven with

the battery disconnected. There is a risk

of serious damage to the generator and

the electrical system.

5.8.4 Cleaning

If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they

should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with

a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal

grease.

5.9 AIR FILTER

The pre-filter (foam filter) (12:S) must be cleaned/

replaced after 25 hours of operation.

The air filter (paper filter) (12:T) must be cleaned/

replaced after 100 hours of operation.

NOTE! The filters should be cleaned/replaced

more often if the machine operates on dusty

ground.

Remove/install the air filters as follows.

1. Clean carefully around the air filter cover (7:R).

2. Dismantle the air filter cover by removing the

two clamps.

3. Dismantle the filter assembly. The pre-filter is

placed over the air filter. Make sure that no dirt

gets into the carburettor. Clean the air filter

housing.

4. Clean the paper filter by tapping it gently

against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty,

replace it.

5. Clean the pre-filter. If the filter is very dirty, re-

place it.

6. Assemble in the reverse order.

Compressed air or petroleum-based solvents such

as kerosene may not be used for cleaning the paper

filter insert. This will damage the filter.

Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper

filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be

oiled.
