Battery - check fastening

Note

Due to manufacturing reasons, different types of batteries are in‐

stalled. Specific work deviations and instructions must be ob‐

served for each battery type ⇒  Electrical equipment; Rep. Gr. 

27 ; Starter, generator, battery

Visual inspection
Carry out work sequence as follows:
– Check the battery case for damage. If the case is damaged,

battery electrolyte may leak.

– Check the battery poles (Battery cable connections) for dam‐

age. If the battery poles are damaged, this will compromise

the contact with the cable connections. This may cause a fire

and there may be electrical system failures.

– Check the battery fastening -arrow- and, if necessary, tighten

the fastening screw to 25 Nm.

If the battery is not firmly fastened, the following may happen:
• The battery life may be reduced because of vibration.
• Damage to the battery case.
• Safety problems in case of collision.
