REPLACING A BULB
Install new anti-sulphate pellets, reconnect positive cable ends to positive terminals and then negative cable ends to negative terminals. Install the terminal protection caps.
WARNING: Do not invert battery terminals. Connect positive cable ends to positive (+) terminals and negative cable ends to negative terminals (-).
WARNING: Batteries give off explosive gases. Keep all naked flames, sparks and cigarettes away. Ensure adequate ventilation when charging batteries or when using in a confined place. Always protect your eyes when working near batteries.
WARNING: The electrolyte in the batteries can cause serious burns. Batteries contain sulphuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Antidote : EXTERNAL : rinse thoroughly with water and remove soiled clothes. INTERNAL : do not induce vomiting. Rinse the mouth out with water. Seek medical advice. EYES : rinse thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and seek medical advice.
WARNING: A spark or a naked light can cause the hydrogen in a battery to explode. To prevent explosion, proceed as follows : - When disconnecting the battery cables, always disconnect the negative (-) cable first. - When reconnecting the battery cables, always connect the negative (-) cable last. - Never short-circuit the battery terminals with metal objects. - Do not weld, grind or smoke near a battery.
WARNING: Always store batteries in a safe place, out of the reach of children.
WARNING: Never touch battery terminals with the hands as electrolysis can take place within the human body and damage vital organs.

WARNING: Connecting auxiliary cables wrongly or short-circuiting batteries terminals can cause an accident. Connect auxiliary starting cables as per the following instructions.
!
Make sure that the voltage of the booster batteries is the same as that of the machine system (24 volts). 1. Remove the terminal covers. 2. Connect the positive (+) cable to the positive (+) terminal on the first machine battery. 3. Connect the negative (-) cable to the negative (-) terminal on the second machine battery. 4. Start the engine. 5. Remove the booster battery negative (-) cable and then the positive (+) cable. 6. Install the terminal covers.
