the risk of injury. Keep clear of naked flames, avoid short circuiting the battery poles, avoid
Batteries are normally supplied filled with acid and ready for use.
If the batteries are dry, proceed as follows before installing them in the machine.
Remove the caps and fill all elements with sulphuric acid solution specific for batteries until the
plates are entirely covered (this requires at least a couple of passes for each element).
Leave the batteries stand for 4-5 hours to allow air bubbles to come to the surface and the plates
to absorb the electrolyte.
Make sure the level of electrolyte is still above the plates and if necessary top up with sulphuric
acid solution.
Close the caps.
Install the batteries in the machine (following the procedure described below).
Charge the batteries before starting up the machine for the first time. Follow the instructions in the

Make sure you connect the terminals marked with a "+" to the positive poles of the battery.
Meticulously follow the instructions given below as short circuiting the batteries could
Place the batteries in the battery compartment, orienting them as shown in the drawings (figs. 2
and 3). On machines fitted with two batteries, place the polystyrene spacers supplied between the
compartment and the batteries, see the drawing (fig. 3)
Referring to the cable layout shown in the above diagram, connect the battery cables and bridge
terminals to the battery poles. Arrange the cables as shown in the diagram, tighten the terminals on
the poles and coat with Vaseline.
Lower the tank into the working position.
