Electrical system
Topping up the electrolyte
Remove the battery from the motorcycle.
Warning
Read carefully the relevant safety rules before working on the battery (Sect. A 3, General safety rules).
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and can cause burns if it comes into contact with the skin because it contains sulphuric acid.
Wear protective clothing, a face-mask and goggles when adding electrolyte.
If the liquid comes into contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with cold water. If it comes into contact with the eyes,
wash thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and consult an ophthalmologist. In the event of accidental ingestion, drink large
quantities of water or milk, and continue with milk of magnesia, beaten egg or vegetable oil. Do not allow sparks, flames,
cigarettes or any other heat source to come near the battery, as it produces explosive gases.
When recharging or using the battery indoors, make sure that the room is adequately ventilated. Do not inhale the gases
produced during recharging.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Place the battery on a flat surface.
Remove the protective film (1).
Warning
Make certain that the electrolyte is of the specific type for your battery.
