Removing and installing the battery
The acid temperature must be 20 ° C. Read and observe the "Inspection and servicing – Safety instructions" chapter.
" Unscrew caps of the battery (Fig. 3-45: " Measure the acid density of the battery using a commercial acid tester (Fig. 3-45: The acid density measured is in direct correlation with the battery charge.
Wear protective gloves and firm working clothing. Shut off the engines before removing the batteries to avoid damaging the alternator and the regulator. Turn key in key-switch to position "0" and withdraw. Disconnect and reconnect the terminal clamping lugs in the prescribed order. Disconnecting and connecting in the wrong order may cause short-circuits. The batteries (1, Fig. 3-46:) are located behind the hydraulic reservoir. The 12-volt batteries are connected in series and in parallel, so that the system voltage is 24 volts.
