Checking Battery For Secure Seating




Checking Battery Is Seated Securely

There is a danger of the following if battery is not properly secured:
- Shortened service life caused by vibration damage.
- The cells in battery will be damaged if battery is not secured correctly.
- Damage to battery housing by clamping bracket (possible acid leakage, high subsequent costs).
- Poor crash safety.
- Make sure that battery does not leak, only install genuine battery caps.
- Use genuine sealing plugs of same construction if lost or damaged.
- The caps must be provided with an O-ring.
