6.12 Battery (27:B)
Acid that comes into contact with eyes
or skin causes serious injury. If you
come into contact with acid,
immediately rinse with water and
contact a doctor.
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 example
after extended storage.
The battery must be fully charged
before 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.
6.12.1 Charging with the engine
The battery can also be charged using the engine’s
alternator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown below.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extraction
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.
6.12.2 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

6.12.3 Removal/Installation
The current must be cut using the main
switch (27:Q) before disconnecting the
battery.
If the cables are interchanged, the
generator and the battery will be
damaged.
Tighten the cables securely. Loose
cables can cause a fire.
The engine must never be driven with
the battery disconnected. There is a risk
of serious damage to the alternator and
the electrical system.
Remove/install the battery as follows:
1. Remove the left-hand engine cover.
2. Cut the power using the main switch (27:Q).
3. Disconnect the battery’s cable connections and
remove the battery.
4. Install the battery in reverse order. Connect the
red cable to the battery’s positive terminal (+)
and the black cable to the battery’s negative terminal
(-).
5. Activate the main switch.
6.12.4 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.
6.13 Air filter, engine
The engine must never be run when the
air filter is damaged or without an air
filter. Risk of serious engine damage.
The air filter consists of two filters as follows:
23:V Pre-filter
23:U Inner air filter
NOTE! Clean/replace the filters more often than
stated in the maintenance schedule if the machine
operates in dusty conditions.
Clean/replace the air filters as follows.
1. Remove the air filter housing (21:R) by removing
the two clamps (21:T) and the screw (21:S).
2. Open the filter housing by releasing the two
clamps (23:X).
3. Remove the pre-filter (23:V) and leave the inner
filter (23:U) in place so that dust etc. does
not penetrate the engine when the pre-filter is
being blow cleaned.
4. Blow clean the pre-filter. Take care not to damage
the filter. Blow from the inside out using
compressed air. The pressure must be 3-5 bar.
If the pre-filter cannot be cleaned or if it is damaged
it must be replaced.
5. Clean the filter housing internally.
