Precautions in Using Storage Battery
○
,
1
Do not effect the first starting of a new motorcycle by electric starter as a new
storage battery has only 80% of full capacity. The difficulty in starting a new
motorcycle often causes overdischarging of storage battery.
○
,
2
MF storage battery must not be replenished with the seal removed. A new MF

for at least 20-30 minutes before it is used.
○
,
4
If, at the completion of electrolyte replenishing and after 20-30 minutes,
voltage at the terminal is
>
12.5V, recharging is not necessary.
Battery Dismounting
Remove foot rest storage battery cover screw.
Open the cover and take out storage battery.
Remove negative wire and then positive wire.
●
When removing positive terminal, tools
should not contact motorcycle body, otherwise,

shall easily ignite gasoline and damage storage
battery.
Mounting is effected in an order reversed to
that of dismounting.
●
To prevent short circuit, please connect
negativeterminal first before connecting positive terminal.
