‹› 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 connection breaking.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury.
‹› Observe warning notes and safety precautions. Refer to => [ Warnings and Safety Precautions ] See: Battery/Description and
Operation/Battery A!
-
Disconnect the Battery (A). Refer to => [ Battery A, Disconnecting and Connecting ] See: Battery/Service and Repair/Procedures/Battery A,

-
Loosen the cap nut and remove the wiring eyelet from the threaded connection.
-
Check the wiring eyelet for corrosion and dirt.
-
Select the corresponding adapter and the corresponding sanding pad.
‹› A sanding block can be used instead.
CAUTION!
Increased corrosion due to an exposed copper layer.
‹› 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.
