Periodic maintenance and adjustment
Checking the wheel bearings
The front and rear wheel bearings must be
checked at the intervals specified in the pe-
riodic maintenance and lubrication chart. If
there is play in the wheel hub or if the wheel
does not turn smoothly, have a Benelli dealer
check the wheel bearings.
Battery
The battery is located under the rider seat.
(See page 3-12.)
This model is equipped with a VRLA (Valve Re-
gulated Lead Acid) battery.
There is no need to check the electrolyte or to
add distilled water.
However, the battery lead connections need
to be checked and, if necessary, tighten.
WARNING
• Electrolyte is poisonous and dange-
rous since it contains sulfuric acid,
which causes severe burns. Avoid any
contact with skin, eyes or clothing and
always shield your eyes when wor-
king near batteries. In case of contact,
amnister the following FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty of
water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quantities
of water or milk and immediately
call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for 15 mi-
nutes and seek prompt medical
attention.
• Batteries produce explosive hydro-
gen gas. Therefore, keep sparks, fla-
mes, cigarettes, etc., away from the
battery and provide sufficient ventila-
tion when charging it in an enclosed
space.
• KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTERIES OUT
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
To charge the battery
Have a Benelli dealer charge the battery as
soon as possible if it seems to have dischar-
ged. Keep in mind that the battery tends to
discharge more quickly if the vehicle is equip-
ped with optional electrical accessories.
NOTICE
To charge a VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead
Acid) battery, a special (constant- voltage)
battery charger is required.
