Gilera Runner 125VX, Manual

Page: 28 / 90

Proceed as follows:
a) Keeping all other systems off, start the scooter with the auxiliary battery and bring
the engine speed to a level slightly above the minimum to ensure a good charge for
the battery, then turn off the engine.
b) Turn off everything and turn the scooters' key switch to " OFF ."
c) Connect the positive terminal (+) of the dead battery to the positive terminal (+) of
the auxiliary battery and the negative terminal (-) of the dead battery to the negative
terminal (-) of the auxiliary battery.
d) Try to start the scooter by alternating 5 seconds of turning the starter motor with 5
seconds of pause. If the motor does not start after 20" of using the start-up system,
do not continue with the attempt, since the scooter might not start due to some other
problem.
e) Once the engine has started, keep the engine speed slightly above the minimum
and proceed to disconnect the cables (one at a time and from both poles of the bat-
teries) in reverse order from the connection: first the negative terminal (-) and then the
positive (+). As soon as possible, check the electrolyte level (in the regular battery)
and if necessary top it up with distilled water. If you do not know why the battery is
empty, turn to an
authorised Piaggio service centre for a check of the scooter's
electrical system.
