Visual inspection determines the following.
- Is the battery case damaged? Vehicle parts that have come into contact with leaked acid must be immediately treated with any alkaline solution.
- Are the battery terminals damaged? The consequence of this may be significant disturbances in the operation of the electrical system.
- You should also check the terminals for signs of oxidation of the contact surfaces, for the absence of organic contaminants (oil etc.) on the surface of the terminals and on the battery case.
Caution: In order to prevent accidental short circuits caused by unwanted accidental tool contacts when working in the engine compartment, always remove the negative battery terminal first.
- To prevent damage to the battery case, its terminals must be put on the terminals only by hand, i.e. without the use of force.
- Do not lubricate battery terminals.
The prescribed sequence of operations must be strictly adhered to.
To remove the battery, follow these steps.
- Switch off the ignition and all electrical consumers, remove the ignition key.
- Open retainer (arrow), lift the cover and remove it towards the front.
- By shaking the minus (1) and positive (2) battery wires, check the reliability of the fastening of the terminals.
- Tighten terminal (1) on the negative pole of the battery with the specified tightening torque.
- Replace the cover.
After connecting the terminals to the battery, certain work must be carried out.
