WARNING The battery charging proce-
dure is described only for information pur-

Charging should be slow at a low amp ra-
ting for 24 hours. Charging for a longer ti-
me may damage the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
❒disconnect battery negative terminal;
❒connect the charger cables to the bat-

❒turn on the charger;
❒when you have finished, turn the char-
ger off before disconnecting the bat-

The liquid in the battery is

not let it touch the skin or eyes. Re-
charging the battery should be done
in a well ventilated area away from
naked flames or possible sources of
sparks: explosion and fire risk.
WARNING
Do not attempt to charge a
frozen battery: it must firstly
be thawed, otherwise it may burst. If
freezing has occurred, the battery
should be checked by skilled person-
nel to make sure that the internal ele-
ments are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
