the batteries should be taken out and taken care of separately. Every four weeks, the batteries
should be discharged and then recharged.
Headlamp
The built–in headlamp is equipped with a BILUX bulb, 12 volts, 35/35 watts, for the main beam
and 12 volts, 1.5 watts bulb for the parking light. For setting the headlamp, there are three slits on
the bezel. See “Adjusting the Headlamp” on P. 59.
Tail and braking lights
When changing the bulbs of the tail and braking lights, the tail light cover must first be removed.
Important:
Before doing any jobs involving the electrical system always disconnect the earthing
lead from the battery (danger of short–circuiting).
