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.
5.10.1 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.
5.10.2 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.
5.10.3 Removal/Installation
The battery is placed under the engine casing. Dur-
ing removal/installation, the following applies re-
garding 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 battery'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 ter-
minal (-).
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.

5.10.4 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.
5.11 Air filter, engine
A damaged air filter allows contaminat-
ed air into the engine. This will cause se-
rious damage to the engine.
The air filter must be cleaned after every 50 hours
of operation. The oil filter must be replaced as nec-
essary, or after every 500 hours of operation.
NOTE! Clean/replace the filter more often if the
machine operates in dusty conditions.
Remove/install the air filters as follows.
1. Disconnect the splash guard (17:G) by remov-
ing the nuts (17:K).
2. Clean carefully around the air filter housing.
3. Disconnect the air filter housing by slackening
off the wing nut (17:H).
4. Remove the filter (18:I) by slackening off the
ridged nut (18:J).
Never direct the flow of compressed air
towards the body. The penetration of
air into the blood stream can be fatal.
5. Clean off any dry dirt on the filter by blowing
compressed air in and out of the filter. The pres-
sure must not exceed 5 bar.
Check for cracks or other damage after clean-
ing. This can be visually checked against a light
source.
Check that the filter's mating surfaces are free
of faults.
If the filter is damaged, it must be replaced.
If the filter is contaminated by moisture/oily
dirt, it must be replaced.
6. Assemble in reverse order.
Do not use compressed air or petroleum based sol-
vents such as kerosene to clean the paper filter in-
sert. This will damage the filter.
5.12 Air intake
See 8:W. The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cool-
ing system can damage the engine. Clean the en-
gine's air intake after 50 hours of operation. More
meticulous cleaning of the cooling system is car-
ried out during each basic service.
