‹› Make sure the tin layer is not worn down too much and the copper is not visible. Increased corrosion can result due to the galvanizing

effects.

‹› Due to the different thicknesses of the tin layer, the cleaning process must be performed in several steps and a visual inspection of the wiring eyelet

between steps is necessary.

-

Insert the adapter in the wiring eyelet and sand off the corrosion and contamination with circular motion.

-

Check the wiring eyelet and sand it again if necessary.

-

If necessary, remove the burr on the wiring eyelet with the deburring tool.

-

Reinstall the wiring eyelet to the tightening specification.

‹› Optimal contact is ensured if the bolted components are tightened to the specified torque after cleaning.

-

Protect the connection with the corresponding protection material. Refer to => [ Protecting ].

-

Reconnect the battery.

Threaded Connections, Servicing

‹› Do not use rust remover, contact spray or grease because the lack of friction will cause the torque to be exceeded when installing and this will lead

to the threaded connections breaking.

CAUTION!
Risk of injury.

‹› Observe warning notes and safety precautions. Refer to => [ Lead Acid Battery Warnings and Safety Precautions ] See:

Battery/Service Precautions/Technician Safety Information/Lead Acid Battery Warnings and Safety Precautions!

-

Disconnect the battery.

-

Loosen the cap nut and remove the wiring eyelet from the threaded connection.
