6.11BATTERY
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.
6.11.1 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.
6.11.2 Charging using battery charger
When charging with the battery charger, a battery
charger with continuous voltage must be used.
Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger
with constant voltage.
The battery can be damaged if a standard type bat-
tery charger is used.
6.11.3 Removal/Installation
The battery is placed under the seat. See fig. 4.
During removal/installation of the battery, the fol-
lowing 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.
6.11.4 Cleaning
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with
a wire brush and grease them using terminal
grease.
6.12 AIR FILTER
The pre-filter (foam filter) (19:G) must be cleaned/
replaced every 25 operating hours.
The pre-filter (paper filter) (19:F) must be cleaned/
replaced every 100 operating hours.
NOTE! Clean/replace the filter more often if the
machine operates in dusty conditions.
Remove/install the air filters as follows.
1. Clean carefully around the air filter housing
(18:E).
2. Remove the air filter cover by releasing the two
clamps at the rear edge of the cover.
3. Remove the filters. The pre-filter is located far
in towards the engine. Make sure that no dirt
gets into the carburettor. Clean the air filter
housing.
4. Clean the paper filter by gently tapping it
against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty,
change it.
5. Clean the pre-filter. If the filter is very dirty,
change it.
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.
The paper filter insert must not be oiled.
