b) Batteries (WET) installed on the machine, but without electrolyte
c) Without batteries
According to machine confi guration, proceed as follows.
a) Batteries (WET or GEL) already installed and charged
1. Open the machine hood (10) and fasten it with the support rod (43), then check that the batteries are connected to the
