ELECTRIC SYSTEM
CAUTION:
In case of service steps on the vehicle, disconnect
the main isolating switch "S", located on the right
side of the vehicle, near the fuel tank.
NOTE:
On request (OPTION), the vehicle may be equipped
with a main electrical switch; in this case, to turn off
the power, just remove the ignition key from the
ignition lock.
Batteries (unsealed)
The batteries are located in the top of the right side
box of the vehicle; to access them pull up the cover.
Weekly: S
Carefully clean the batteries, the cables and the main isolating switch
battery case, eliminating any traces of carbon
oxide and contamination that may cause voltage
drops.
Through the caps "T" check that the electrolyte
level in the battery is approx. 10-12 mm higher pull up the upper cover
to access the batteries
than the upper edge of the battery plates. If
necessary, TOP UP ONLY WITH DISTILLED check the level

WARNING:
Do not smoke when checking the level of the battery electrolyte: batteries generate inflammable
gases. Battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid, which is dangerous for skin and eyes.
Use a voltmeter or a hydrometer to check the battery charge conditions and never put metal
objects between the terminals: sparks may cause an explosion.
When the electrolyte is frozen, the battery may explode if you try to charge it or to start the
engine. To prevent the electrolyte from freezing, the battery should be always kept at full charge.

Batteries (continuation)
IMPORTANT information
Recommended checks
With the voltmeter, check the correctness of the polarity; the measurement with a 2-decimals-voltmeter must
be done some hours after the switching-off of the engine.
The voltage at the battery terminals should be at least 12.30 V; lower voltages are a sign of inadequate
charge due insufficient km covered or regulator voltage lower than specified. Check the drive belt of the AC
generator.
In case of abnormal water consumption (lever under the plate edges) check the regulation voltage.
With the engine at normal operation speed (approx. the half of the max. possible rpm), the voltage measured
at the battery terminals should be between [13.7-14.7V for 12V-system], [26.9-28.8V for 24V-system] at a
room temperature of 25°C.
Check that the min. value with switched-on loads (at least, with high beams), respectively the max. value
without load is respected.
Check the tightness of the cable terminals and that the positive terminal is not abnormally oxidized.
Safety instructions
Batteries contain (corrosive) sulphuric acid and generate explosive gases, especially during the charge.
Therefore observe the precautions foreseen in the procedures and by law.
In fact, the law decree 629/94 art.40 and 46 prescribes personal protective devices to work with batteries
(gloves, eyeglasses, etc.).
Keep flames and cigarettes away from the batteries; avoid any possible spark source. Do not bend your
head on the batteries during the installation and the removal of the batteries.
NOTE: When installing a battery on the vehicle, always connect first the positive terminal. During the
removal, always disconnect first the negative terminal.
