PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Disconnect both wires from the battery. The negative wire always should be disconnected first of all and be connected in the last. If the stereosystem established on the car is equipped with a security code before disconnecting the battery make sure that have the correct combination for equipment introduction in action! 2. Check electrolit level in the battery (concerns only the needing batteries equipped with demountable covers service) – the electrolit should hide completely ламели, otherwise in banks the corresponding amount of the distilled water follows. DO NOT POUR, – surplus of electrolit at an excessive charging of the battery will start to be poured through edges of mouths! By means of the areometer (ask in shops of automobile accessories) measure specific weight of electrolit (see an accompanying illustration). Remove covers from jellied mouths and take away the areometer electrolit test serially from each of a battery banok. Following instructions of manufacturers, on the provision of a measuring float of the device define specific weight of electrolit. At normal level of a charge specific weight of electrolit should make 1.270 units (a green zone of a measuring scale). At excessively low density of electrolit (a red zone of a scale) the battery should be charged (see. Head Routine maintenance). Target tension of the battery should make 12.6 In or is slightly higher. The nominal rate of density of electrolit is defined depending on ambient temperature (and it is directly proportional to it) – use the map of temperatures delivered by manufacturers in a set to the battery. 3. More exact check of a condition of the battery can be made by means of a universal measuring instrument (ask in shops of automobile accessories). The device allows to define ability of the battery to a provoachivaniye of a starter and food giving to onboard consumers of the electric power at raised loads of the engine. Connect a measuring instrument to battery plugs (see an accompanying illustration). Follow instructions of manufacturers of the device – at 15-second inclusion of loading tension of the battery should not fall below, than to value 9.6 In, otherwise it is necessary to replace the battery. At ambient temperatures below 0°С the minimum admissible indication decreases to 9.1 Century.

Release fixture and remove a clamping level of fastening of the battery on the pallet (see an accompanying illustration). 3. Remove the battery from the pallet (see an accompanying illustration). Special brackets with the handle are issued. Use of such bracket essentially simplifies procedure of extraction of the battery from an impellent compartment. 4. Remove the pallet and attentively examine it on existence of traces of corrosion. 5. In case of need remove a pallet support for the purpose of removal of products of corrosion from under it and the corresponding protective processing of metal (use first coats on a zinc basis). 6. At replacement track, that the replaceable battery corresponded according to the characteristics to requirements of your car. 7. Installation is made upside-down.
