CHECKING
THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

Carefully read p. 55 (BATTERY).

Position the vehicle on firm and
flat ground.

◆

Remove the left side cover, see p. 40
(REMOVING THE SIDE COVERS).

◆

Keep the vehicle in vertical position, with
the two wheels resting on the ground.

F a i l u r e t o p e r f o r m t h e
operations described above may

lead to the wrong measurement of the
level.

◆

Make sure that the fluid level is included
between the two “

MIN

” and “

MAX

”

notches stamped on the battery side.

Otherwise:

◆

Remove the battery from its compart-
ment, see p. 56 (REMOVING THE BAT-
TERY).

◆

Unscrew and remove the element plugs.

Top up with distilled water only.
Do not exceed the “MAX” mark,
since the electrolyte level in-

creases during the recharge.

◆

Top up by adding distilled water.

RECHARGING THE BATTERY

Carefully read p. 55 (BATTERY).

◆

Remove the battery from its compart-
ment, see p. 56 (REMOVING THE BAT-
TERY).

◆

Unscrew and remove the element plugs.

◆

Check the electrolyte level, vedi sopra
(CHECKING THE ELECTROLYTE
LEVEL).

◆

Connect the battery with a battery charg-
er.

◆

A recharge with an amperage equal to
1/10th of the battery capacity is recom-
mended.

◆

After the recharging operation, check the
electrolyte level again and if necessary
top up with distilled water.

◆

Replace the element plugs.

Reinstall the battery only 5-10
minutes after disconnecting the
recharge equipment, since the

battery keeps sending out extremely in-
flammable hydrogen gas for a short
lapse of time.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Carefully read p. 55 (BATTERY).

◆

Connect the breather pipe (1).

A l w a y s c o n n e c t t h e b a t t e r y
breather pipe, to prevent the sul-
phuric acid vapours from cor-

roding the electric system, painted
parts, rubber elements or gaskets
when they exit the breather pipe itself.

◆

Connect, in order, the positive (+) and
negative (–) cable.

◆

Cover the terminals with special grease
or Vaseline.

◆

Put the battery in its container.

◆

Put back the cover (2).

◆

Screw and tighten the screw (3).

◆

Put back the left side cover, see p. 40
(REMOVING THE SIDE COVERS).
