Removing and installing battery: Notes
NOTE:
- The battery is located in the radiator tank.
- In order to avoid triggering the alarm siren (installed on right next to the battery) of vehicles with M 536, the battery must be disconnected with the ignition on!
- All loads must be switched off beforehand! Remove ignition key!
- Never disconnect battery with engine running!
- Never start engine without securely connected battery!
- The battery terminal clamps should only be attached without force to prevent damage to the battery housing.
- Battery terminals should not be greased.
- Check that the battery is seated correctly after installation. Other dangers exist with a loose battery such as: - Reduced service life due to vibration damage. - Damage to the grid plates of the battery. - Damage to the battery housing through the retaining bracket (possible acid leak, high subsequent costs). - Inadequate crash safety.
