INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Carefully read p. 74 (BATTERY).
♦
Make sure that the ignition switch is set to “ ” (OFF).
♦
Position the battery in its housing.
♦
Connect up the battery bleeder pipe.
Always connect the battery bleeder pipe, to prevent
any sulfuric acid fumes produced by the battery
from corroding the electrical system, paintwork,
rubber elements or gaskets.
The bleeder pipe must be connected in such a way
that it is not crushed, otherwise this might cause an
increase in pressure inside the battery, which may
damage it.
♦
First connect up the positive cable (red) (+) and then
the negative one (-).
♦
Coat the terminals and clamps with special grease or
Vaseline.
When reassembling, the electrical cables must be
fed into a position in which they are not crushed in
any way.
The negative cable (–) must not cross the positive
terminal (+), but must be positioned to the side,
between the battery and the holder.
♦
Push the battery into the battery holder.
♦
Close the battery cover (2).
♦
Lower the saddle.
CHANGING FUSES
Do not repair faulty fuses.
Use only recommended fuses.
Using fuses of an improper capacity can cause
damage to the electrical system or an electrical fire,
which could result in total destruction of your vehicle
as well as injury to you.
NOTE
If a fuse blows frequently, there probably is a
short circuit or an overload in the electrical system. If this
occurs, take the vehicle to your Local aprilia Dealer.
If an electric component does not work or works irregu-
larly, or if the vehicle fails to start, it is necessary to check
the fuse (1).
