Your loader was designed for heavy work conditions. Your loader stands out for its sturdiness, large load capacity, and ease of operation. Your loader has a spacious cab, with ROPS/FOPS certification. Your loader provides broad visibility and more comfort for the operator, with air conditioning, heating, and simple, smooth controls.

The engine offers high torque, high performance, reliability, and low consumption. The engine also has fewer moving parts, which means less wear and lower maintenance cost, as well as integrated components that facilitate access.

The innovative “Cooling Box” cooling module, mounted in the center of the machine, eliminates the overlaid heat exchangers and allows full access to fresh, clean air. This means a more efficient cooling, extension of service life of the components, and greater durability of the coolant. The location of the cooling system, behind the cab, made it possible to install the engine behind the rear axle. This provides better balance, stability, and weight transfer. Even the hydraulic fluid tank plays an important role in the cooling system. At the same time as the tank helps to direct the air flow, it also is cooled by the air clean in circulation. The large hydraulic fan operates independently of the motor, at a low speed. The fan produces less noise, even though it moves a 10 % greater volume of air (at a higher engine rpm of 2000 RPM) than conventional cooling systems. This is possible because the hydraulic fan captures the air in three directions. In addition, there no impact from small abrasive particles in the heat exchangers. This eliminates the need for reinforced radiators. In working environments with high levels of dust or debris in the air, the reversible fan (optional) is a solution that saves time when you clean the cooling module. The operator can use a switch in the cab to quickly reverse the fan and remove dust and debris from the cooling module. This saves time and improves productivity.

The transmission is “Powershift” type with proportional shifting. It uses electronic control module to make the gear changes smooth and precise. In addition to the automatic or manual shift options, you can set a customized program of shifting sequences, to obtain greater productivity and reduce operator fatigue. For excellent lift capacity, uncoupling of the “Declutch” transmission is standard. Simply activate the brake pedal to instantly transmit more engine power.

This way you are able to obtain fast lift cycles with the bucket full.

The shafts are “Limited Slip” type, on both the front axle and the rear axle. When you stack material or push material on slippery ground, both axles minimize wheel slip. This maintains power and reduces tire wear. Outer planetaries and disc brakes in oil bath ensure an exceptional performance and reliability.

Ecology and the environment Soil, air, and water are vital factors of life in general. Disposing of waste improperly represents a danger for the environment.

NOTE: Some recommendations must be followed: • Obtain information about the correct methods to recycle or dispose of waste from local authorities, collection centers or your dealer.

• Do not dispose of waste onto the ground, into drains, or in water beds.

• Do not fill reservoirs using cans or inappropriate pressurized fluid delivery systems, as they may cause considerable spillage.

• Use sealed containers when draining the fluids. Do not use containers for food or beverages which may induce ingestion.

• The air conditioning system is under pressure, and contains gases that should not be released into the atmosphere.

Do not disconnect or remove any component from the pressure line of the air conditioning system. If you need repairs to the air conditioning system, contact a dealer.

• Immediately repair any leaks or defects in the machine's engine cooling and hydraulic systems.

• Generally avoid skin contact with any fuels, oils, fluids, acids, solvents, etc. Most of them contain substances which may be harmful to your health.

• Avoid spills when draining fluid. Store them safely until they can be disposed of properly in compliance with local legislation.

• Protect hoses and pipes during welding works, because the sparks generated during the welding work can damage them, allowing the fluid to leak.

Mandatory recycling The battery is essentially composed of lead plates and sulfuric acid solution. Because the battery contains heavy metals such as lead, resolution 401 de 2008 of CONAMA orders that all used batteries must be returned to the battery dealer at the time of replacement. Do not dispose of the battery in the garbage. Points of sale are obliged to accept the return of your used battery, and to store it in a suitable place and return it to the manufacturer for recycling.

Improper disposal of batteries can contaminate the soil, groundwater and waterways. Consumption of contaminated water can cause serious health risks. Contact of the acid solution with the skin or eyes can cause serious injury and blindness. In case of accidental contact with the eyes or skin, immediately wash with running water and seek emergency medical care.

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Biodiesel – Biodiesel fuel Introduction Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) fuel, called biodiesel fuel in this section, is a family of fuels derived from vegetable oils treated with methyl esters.

There are two main types: rapeseed methyl ester (RME) and soybean methyl ester (SME). RME is a blend of rapeseed and sunflower methyl ester, and is the preferred type in Europe. SME is the preferred type in the United States.

Diesel engines can be run with pure biodiesel fuel or a blend of standard diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel: • B5: indicates the blend of 5 % biodiesel and 95 % diesel fuels.

• B20: indicates the blend of 20 % biodiesel and 80 % diesel fuels.

• B100: indicates pure biodiesel, or 100 % biodiesel fuel.

NOTE: Check on the biodiesel decal which blend is suitable for your machine.

Biodiesel fuel is a renewable alternative fuel source. Its use and development is promoted worldwide, especially in Europe and in the United States. Biodiesel has several positive features: • Biodiesel fuel adds lubricity to the fuel, which is beneficial in many circumstances, particularly as sulfur and aromatics are removed from the fuel.

• Biodiesel has a greater cetane number and burns cleaner.

• Biodiesel produces less particulate matter and reduces smoke emissions.

• Biodiesel fuel is fully biodegradable and non-toxic.

Diesel and biodiesel fuel specifications Tier IV diesel fuel specifications are found: • Europe: EN 590 - specification of diesel fuel (10 ppm sulphur maximum) • Brazil and United States: ASTM D975-10 - standard specification for diesel fuel oils (15 ppm sulphur maximum) • Argentina: 6537-1:1997 and 6538:2010 Biodiesel blends are covered by: • The European diesel fuel specification EN 590 allows up to 7 % biodiesel since 2009. European fuel suppliers are allowed to use up to 7 % biodiesel fuel (B7) to supply the network.

• The specification for diesel in Brazil ASTM D6751-09A allows up to 7 % of biodiesel. Brazilian fuel suppliers can use up to 7 % of biodiesel fuel (B7) to supply the network.

Before crude oil can be converted into usable biodiesel, it must undergo transesterification to remove glycerides.

During the transesterification process, the oil reacts with an alcohol to separate the glycerine from the fat or vegetable oil. This process leaves behind two products: methyl ester (the chemical name for biodiesel) and glycerin (a byproduct usually sold for use in soaps or other products).

NOTE: Biodiesel fuels approved for use in CASE CONSTRUCTION equipment must be transesterified and comply with European standard EN14214, Brazilian and North American standard ASTM D6751 and Argentine standard 6515-1:2013.

NOTICE: Cold pressed biodiesel, cold pressed oil, straight vegetable oil (SVO), or more generally unrefined vegetable oils used as motor fuel are fuels that are normally made from rapeseed oil or similar high oil content crops.

These fuels are not transesterified and do not meet EN14214, ASTM D6751 or 6515-1:2013 requirements. There is no recognized quality standard available for these fuels. Therefore the use of cold pressed biodiesel, cold pressed oil, straight vegetable oil (SVO) or unrefined vegetable oils are NOT APPROVED at any blend in any CASE CONSTRUCTION product.

NOTICE: Running any engine and fuel injection equipment in a CASE CONSTRUCTION vehicle with any blend of NON-APPROVED fuel (fuel not complying with the specification described in requirement EN14214 for Europe, requirement ASTM D6751 for Brazil and the United States and 6515-1:2013 for Argentina) will void the warranty cover

by CASE CONSTRUCTION. 1-14

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

Fuel usage conditions You must follow fuel usage conditions. Incorrect use can lead to severe damage to both the engine and the fuel injection equipment.

The main concerns when operating with biodiesel are: • Filter and injector blockage caused by poor fuel quality.

• Wear and corrosion of internal components from water content, which affects lubricity.

• Deterioration of some rubber sealing compounds in the fuel system.

• Biodiesel oxidation, which can lead to the formation of deposits that can harm the fuel injection system.

NOTICE: Problems in the engine fuel injection equipment associated with non-compliance with the following conditions for biodiesel handling and maintenance will not be covered for warranty by CASE CONSTRUCTION. Purchase biodiesel fuel from a trusted supplier who understands the product and maintains acceptable fuel quality.

Use biodiesel from BQ 9000 accredited suppliers to maintain the quality and consistency of the fuel. The BQ 9000 Quality Management Program is accredited by the National Biodiesel Board for producers and marketers of biodiesel fuel. See the website at www.biodiesel.org for more information.

Biodiesel Fuel must be pre-blended by the supplier. Mixing biodiesel fuel blends on-site can result in an incorrect mixture that may damage the engine and/or fuel system.

NOTICE: CASE CONSTRUCTION may void your warranty if an engine or fuel system problem results from poor fuel quality due to improper blending. You and your fuel supplier are responsible that the right type of fuel and blend is delivered and used.

Using an additive for Biodiesel Despite strict standards for the manufacture of biodiesel in Brazil, fuel may present problems after some time in storage, such as the formation of colonies of microorganisms, oxidation and crystallization in the cold. Although the percentage of biodiesel blended with diesel fuel is small, the problems that can occur with the fuel cause major disruptions.

To avoid disruptions and possible damage to equipment, CASE CONSTRUCTION makes the following recommendation: Use a Biodiesel biocide additive for the purpose of combating the formation of colonies of microorganisms in the machine's fuel system. The additive, as well as having biocidal properties, should also function as a lubricant and antioxidant. Consult your CASE CONSTRUCTION dealer for detailed information on the concentration and frequency of use of the additive.

Tires and wheels – (Safety precautions) DANGER Explosion hazard!

Welding to a wheel can create an explosive air and gas mixture. Removing air from the tire or loosening the tire on the wheel (breaking the bead) will NOT eliminate the hazard. ALWAYS remove the tire completely from the wheel before welding.

Failure to comply will result in death or serious injury.

D0033A

WARNING Explosion hazard!

When inflating tires, use a clip-on air chuck with a gauge, remote valve, and hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and NOT in front of or over the wheel assembly. Keep others out of the DANGER AREA. Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum allowable pressure printed on the tire.

Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

W0059A

WARNING Explosion hazard!

Always maintain correct tire pressure as indicated in this manual. DO NOT inflate tires above the recommended pressure. Excessive pressure could result in tire failure.

Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

W0109A

2-28

2 - SAFETY INFORMATION

Wheel and tire maintenance • Use an air hose with remote shutoff valve and a metered extension and keep away from the tire while inflating it to avoid the possibility of injury due to separation between the tire and the rim, etc.

• An explosion that separates the parts of the tire and/or rim assembly could cause injury or death.

• Whenever you need to perform maintenance on a tire, leave it to a qualified tire repair specialist.

• DO NOT perform any welding on the wheel or rim with the tire fitted. The welding operation could cause the formation of an explosive air/gas mixture that will be flammable at high temperatures. This could happen with either filled or empty tires.

• It is not enough to empty the tire or remove the bead.

The tire MUST BE completely removed from the rim before performing any welding work on the rim.

• A tire can explode during inflation and cause serious injuries or death. Never fill the tire with air pressure greater than that given in this manual to force the seating of the bead above the rim.

• Replace a faulty tire.

• Replace a wheel whose rim has cracks, wear or severe corrosion.

• Make sure that all the air is removed from a time before removing it from the rim.

• Never try to force the removal of a fully or partially inflated tire.

• Make sure the tire is correctly seated before filling it (inflating).

NOTE: The illustration shows the danger areas when there is an explosion in the tires and/or rim parts. Both you and others must stay outside the DANGER AREAS.

3 - CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

1. Hydraulic filter restriction indicator This indicator will light up only when the hydraulic fluid filter is clogged. In this event, you need to change the filter.

The red indicator will stay lit until the problem is resolved.

2. Hydraulic fluid temperature indicator This indicator will only light up when the hydraulic fluid goes above normal working temperature.

NOTE: Increased hydraulic fluid temperature will affect its properties. This will cause a loss of hydraulic performance. This could overload the hydraulic components.

In the event of any abnormality with the oil temperature, stop the machine and correct the problem.

Check for: Clogged return filter, low oil level in the reservoir, low coolant level in the radiator, and blockage in or damage to the radiator.

3. Brake fluid pressure indicator If there is no load on the accumulators, this indicator should come on when you turn on the machine and will turn off when you start the engine. Check that the light is coming on, indicating that the system is working.

If this light comes on while you are operating the machine, the oil pressure will be below what is necessary for applying the brake.

NOTE: In this case, there is only enough pressure to stop the machine. DO NOT WORK UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. Loss of system pressure is normally the result of leaks. In this case, check and correct the problem.

Your life is at risk. Stop the machine immediately.

4. Transmission fluid temperature gauge This indicator will only light up when the transmission fluid goes above normal working temperature.

If you operate the machine in extreme conditions for a prolonged period, the transmission fluid temperature may increase. The system allows this small increase for short periods. If you need to work in extreme conditions for long periods, break up your work with short breaks.

NOTE: Increased temperature affects the properties of the oil. If you operate the machine for a long time with the transmission fluid at a high temperature, this will cause premature wear to the transmission components.

The most common factors that contribute to increased transmission oil temperature are: Clogged transmission filter, low transmission fluid level, or some other hydraulic system fault.

5. Air filter restriction indicator This indicator will only light up when the air filter is clogged.

In this event, servicing is required. A clogged air filter directly affects the performance of the engine and, consequently, of the hydraulic system. How often you need to replace the air filter will depend on the environmental conditions in which the machine is working. Check on the servicing chart.

6. Engine coolant temperature gauge This indicator will only come on when the engine coolant is overheated.

Check that the fluid level is not low and that the radiator is not damaged or blocked.

7. Battery charge indicator This indicator will come on when you turn the machine on and will turn off again when you start the engine. Check that the light is coming on, indicating that the system is working properly. If this indicator comes on while you are operating the machine, there is a problem with the alternator.

3 - CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

8. Transmission fluid pressure indicator This indicator will come on when you turn the machine on and, after 5 s, will turn off again when you start the engine. Check that the light is coming on, indicating that the system is working. Wait for at least 5 s before starting the engine.

If this indicator comes on while the machine is in operation, the transmission fluid pressure is below what is necessary for operation. Check that the transmission fluid level is not too low. Check that the oil used is the oil specified in this manual.

9. Park brake indicator This indicator will stay lit for as long as the parking brake is applied.

With the brake applied, the transmission will be in neutral.

10. Engine oil pressure indicator This indicator will light up when you turn the machine on and will turn off again when you start the engine.

Check that the light is coming on, indicating that the system is working.

If this indicator comes on during operation, the engine oil pressure is below working pressure.

Check that the engine oil level is not too low and that the oil used is that specified in this manual.

If the relief valve has been set incorrectly, consult an authorized service to carry out the maintenance.

11. Turn Signal Indicator This indicator will flash green while the direction indicator lever is activated.

12. Warning lights indicator This indicator will light up and the direction indicator (11) will flash while the hazard lights activation switch is activated.

13. High beam indicator This indicator will light up in blue while the full beam lever is activated.

14. Emergency steering indicator (optional) This indicator will only come on if there is a problem with the hydraulic system.

If this indicator comes on, shut the machine down and call for a mechanic.

This option enables small maneuvers using a complementary system, which will only enable you to move the machine to an appropriate place for servicing.

You must never use it as a replacement for the main system.

15. Engine oil pressure indicator This gauge shows engine oil pressure changes while the machine is operating.

The normal working pressure range is represented by the green strip on the gauge.

If the needle moves into the red, the light indicator (10) will come on and the audio signal will sound.

You must not run the engine with the oil pressure outside the normal working range.

16. Fuel level gauge This gauge shows the fuel level in the reservoir.

When the needle is pointing to the red strip (reserve), only a few liters of fuel remain in the reservoir.

Do not allow the reservoir to empty completely.

If that happens, air will get into the engine supply system, which will make it necessary to bleed the air out of the fuel system.

Loading the bucket In general, there are three bucket loading methods: 1. The arc bucket penetration method makes the bucket penetrate the material in a continuous arc upward until the bucket is filled.

2. The step bucket penetration method makes the bucket penetrate the material horizontally with intermittent levels successively higher or in steps, until the bucket is filled.

3. The flat bucket penetration method makes the bucket penetrate the material, horizontally, until the bucket is filled.

NOTE: Assess the type of penetration required to load the bucket. Alter the method based on the materials you load.

Start work with the bucket at the top of the edge or pile of material.

Arc bucket penetration • Slowly approach the pile of material with the bucket in a horizontal position on level ground and with the engine at maximum rpm.

• Move the machine forward until the bucket is full.

• Penetrate the bucket about 152 - 229 mm (6 - 9 in) directly into the pile of material.

• Coordinate the lift movements of the loader arm and the bucket tilt back so that the rear part fills while the machine moves forward.

NOTE: If the tilt back is too excessive, the bucket will not be fully filled, whereas if it is insufficient, the bucket will be overloaded.

Step bucket penetration • Approach the pile of material with the bucket in a horizontal position on level ground and with the engine at maximum rpm.

• Make the bucket directly penetrate the pile of material as much as possible during the initial advance.

• When engine rpm starts to drop, chock the brake pedal.

• Keep the bucket in a horizontal position. Lift the bucket approximately 0.305 mm (0.01 in).

• Move the machine forward again. Penetrate further into the pile of material with the bucket.

• Repeat the cycle as many times as necessary until the bucket is full.

Flat bucket penetration • Approach the pile of material with the bucket in a horizontal position on level ground and with the engine at maximum rpm.

• Make the bucket directly penetrate the pile of material as much as possible during the initial advance.

• Keep the bucket in a horizontal position. Penetrate into the pile of material until the bucket is filled.

Yield During the loading process, and when transporting the load, place the gear selector lever in reduced.

6-3

6 - WORKING OPERATIONS

To improve performance, leave the engine running at high speed while unloading the bucket or when using said component to dig.

Transport When moving away from the pile of material and transporting the load, raise the bucket just enough to avoid hitting any obstacles. Raising the bucket higher than necessary will reduce the tractor's traction and stability.

Bucket dump When dumping the load on a truck, let it fall gradually from the bucket. This will ease the impact of the additional weight on the truck.

Suddenly dumping the entire load will have an abrupt impact on the truck, and has the potential to cause serious damage.

After dumping, if part of the load remains inside the bucket, tap its limiters to release the remaining material.

Machine operation in water Make sure that the bottom of the stream, or water in which you will work, can support the weight of the machine.

Do not allow the water level to reach the wheel rim.

Before you use the machine in water, inject large quantities of fresh grease into the appropriate grease fittings.

Having completed the operation, make sure to inject more grease into any fitting that was in water.

ATTENTION: Do not operate in rivers with strong currents.

Fuel system components The fuel system is comprised of a tank, filters, pumps, and injection equipment.

Using clean fuel and servicing components regularly at the correct intervals are essential requirements for the system to have a long service life.

Before winter starts, the sediment left in the fuel tank must be removed and the filters must be cleaned well or replaced.

This prevents water waste entering the tubing, which would cause power outages if the water froze.

7-14

7 - MAINTENANCE

Fuel storage Storing fuel for long periods of time can cause sediment, dirt, and condensation to build up. Many engine problems are linked to the presence of water or dirt in the fuel due to such prolonged storage periods.

To keep the fuel supplied in drums as pure as possible: 1. The storage tank should be placed outside and the fuel temperature kept as low as possible.

2. The drum support (trestle) must be placed in a location protected from the sun and gusts of wind.

3. The drum should be tilted in such a way that there is approximately 75 mm difference in level, with the tap at the highest point to allow any water or impurities in the fuel to settle.

4. When you open the tap, you should not move the drum, in order to using fuel contaminated with impurities deposited as a result of the slope.

COIL15WEL0025AA

5. The drum should not be made of galvanized steel. You should never use container made of galvanized metal plate for fuel oil because the oil undergoes a chemical reaction when it comes into contact with the zinc coating, producing a viscous substance that clogs the filters and very quickly damages the pump and the injectors.

6. Drain off water and impurities regularly.

ATTENTION: Because of the risk that such fuel could accidentally catch fire, anyone directly or indirectly connected with the transport, handling, or storage of diesel fuel must take the following additional precautions: A. In places where diesel fuel is stored, unloaded, and poured, there must be two fire extinguishers: one chemical powder ( 8 kg minimum) and one CO2 – carbon dioxide gas ( 6 kg minimum). There must be visible signs that state "DO NOT SMOKE", "INFLAMMABLE", and "FIRE EXTINGUISHERS".

B. The fuel tank, lines, hoses and pumps must be kept in good condition for use and periodically checked for leaks, evaporation and operation by qualified personnel.

C. Engines and electrical switches must be of the type that do not produce sparks and be fitted as per the appropriate standards. Anti-static connections to earth must always be used for all the equipment involved (truck – tank, pumps, reservoirs, engines, etc.).

D. Reservoirs located inside sheds must have vents channeled to an area not covered by the roof, and at height of not less than 3,5 m above the ground. There must be adequate ventilation at the site, in order to eliminate all fuel fumes. Metalworking, welding, and working with electricity or impact tools must be carried out as far as possible from the reservoirs.

Antidote - external: Wash the affected area with plenty of water. Internal: Drink large amounts of water or milk. Call a doctor immediately. Eyes: Wash them with plenty of water for 15 min and seek immediate medical assistance.

ATTENTION: When the battery electrolyte is frozen, the battery could explode if you attempt to charge it or you attempt to use a jumper battery to start the engine. To prevent the battery electrolyte from freezing, keep it fully charged. If you do not follow these instructions, you could suffer injury, as could others in the area.

ATTENTION: Sparks or flames could cause the hydrogen gas in a battery to explode. To prevent an explosion, do as follows: 1. When disconnecting the battery cables, always start with the negative (-) cable.

2. When connecting the battery cables, connect the negative cable (-) last.

3. Do not cause the battery terminals to short circuit by using metal objects.

4. Do not weld, grind, or smoke near a battery.

Battery maintenance To perform maintenance on the battery, proceed as follows: 1.

Keep all unauthorized personnel clear of the area.

2.

Park the machine on a flat, level, firm surface, away from any obstacles.

3.

Support the implements on the ground.

NOTE: The machine has two batteries, one on each side.

7-112

7 - MAINTENANCE

9.

Fill the electrolyte level with pure distilled water as necessary to ensure the separators remain covered.

NOTE: The battery electrolyte level should be checked every 250 hours of operation or more frequently (shorter periods) when you operate the machine in extreme conditions. The battery electrolyte level can decrease with high temperatures.

For more information, see page 7-72.

10. Always keep the battery charged, adhering to densimeter readings.

11. Ensure that the battery is firmly seated in its bracket.

NOTE: The battery cables must not come into contact with the connectors on the cells connectors or the battery bracket.

12. Keep the battery clean and dry.

13. Check if the battery does not hold the charge.

NOTE: Replace with a battery of the same type if necessary.

15. Use a densitometer to take a reading from each cell periodically and before you top up the electrolyte level.

NOTE: Each cell’s specific density reading must register total charge. The total charge will usually be indicated on the battery.

NOTE: A battery that has a reading of 1.215 should be recharged.

16. Keep the battery covers clean and make sure that their ventilation holes are not blocked.

17. Check the batteries and their performance regularly for dirt, corrosion, and damage.

NOTE: Dirt mixed with the electrolyte or humidity on top of the batteries can cause premature discharge.

Addition of water Always add distilled water to the battery unless the tap water in your region is "approved" (free of scale-causing minerals).

When adding water during very cold periods, the battery must be charged immediately in order to mix the water with the electrolyte. If it is not mixed, the water will remain on top of the electrolyte and will freeze.

Do not add more water than is needed. This will increase the temperature of the battery.

Do not add less water than is needed. This will prevent the battery from charging adequately.

7 - MAINTENANCE

If the temperature is 0 °C (32 °F) or below, connect a battery charger to the battery or run the engine for approximately two (2) hours. This procedure is necessary in order for the recently added water to mix with the electrolyte inside the battery.

Precautions for cold periods As the air temperature falls, the battery's performance and capacity drops. In fact, the battery will be weakened by the cold and the starter motor will not be engaged as quickly or for as long as during hot periods.

Given that starting a diesel engine is directly dependent on starter motor rotations, at speeds high enough to result in the self-ignition of diesel fuel, the importance of keeping the batteries well charged, in order to start-up the engine during cold weather, cannot be stressed enough.

Breather plugs Always keep the breather plugs in the correct place and properly tightened. Make sure that the breather holes are unplugged to prevent the gas pressure in the cells breaking the seal or box.

7-114

7 - MAINTENANCE

Cable and posts terminals The battery cable terminals must always be kept clean and properly tightened to the corresponding posts. A good way of cleaning the terminals and posts is to remove all excess corrosive material with a steel brush before washing them with a weak bicarbonate of soda and ammonia solution. After cleaning, apply a fine layer of petroleum jelly or a fine grease in order to delay the formation of new corrosion. Make sure that the grounding connection is firmly tightened.

Cleaning the batteries Regularly check the batteries for dirt, corrosion or damage.

Dirt mixed with the electrolyte and condensation on the top of the batteries can discharge them.

Clean the outside of the batteries with bicarbonate of soda or ammonium and wash them with water.

Use the following method to clean batteries.

Use a special battery cleaning product to prevent corrosion on their terminals.

DO NOT use steam cleaning equipment or solvents to clean the alternator.

Engine start-up with booster batteries Two people will be needed to perform this procedure.
