– Clean battery terminal -1- by rotating wire brush -A- from contact surface cleaning set back and forth.

Installing

Install in reverse order of removal, observing the following:

– → Electrical system; Rep. gr.27; Battery; Assembly overview – battery.

Anti-corrosion treatment of contact surfaces

Anti-corrosion treatment of contact surfaces

Important

● Use hose supplied with tin holding corrosion protection agent.

● Use anti-corrosion wax for cold areas.

→ Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA)

Important

● Use cavity sealant for warm areas → Electronic parts catalogue (ETKA).

Note

The agent will reach the affected area itself through capillary action.

Anti-corrosion treatment

– Hold hose -1- of tin with corrosion protection agent under terminal -2-, and spray threaded connection all around.
