BATTERY
The battery (1) is located in front of the shock absorber and is main-
tenance-free.
It is not necessary to check the electrolyte level or to add water.
Merely keep the battery poles clean and grease slightly with acid-
free grease if required.
WARNING: If electrolyte (sulphuric acid) leaks from the
battery, proceed with great care. The electrolyte can
cause severe burns.
In the case of skin contact rinse thoroughly with water.
In the case of contact with the eyes, thoroughly rinse
eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Immediately con-
sult a doctor.
The battery is a closed model but can nevertheless emit
explosive gases. Avoid sparks and open fire near the bat-
tery.
Defective batteries must be stored out of the reach of
children.Ensure proper disposal of discarded batteries.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, do not remove the locking
bar (2) !
Never disconnect the battery while the engine is running.
This will destroy the rectifier-regulator.
BATTERY STORAGE:
When preparing the motorcycle for a longer period of standstill,
remove the battery and recharge it. Storage temperature: 0 - 35°C
(30 - 95°F). Do not expose to direct sunlight.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Disconnect the negative pole and check the charging level. Use a
voltmeter to measure the voltage between the battery poles (off-
load voltage). Accurate results can only be obtained if the battery
has neither been charged nor discharged during a period of 30
minutes preceding the measuring.
If the battery is empty, it can be recharged for a maximum period
of 10 hours at 0.4 A and a maximum of 14.4 V.
Caution: To avoid damage, do not remove the locking
bar.
Always connect the battery to the charging unit before
turning the charging unit on.
When recharging the battery in closed rooms there is suf-
ficient venti-lation. Explosive gases are released during
the battery charging process.
Charging time and charging voltage should not exceed
the stated values. Otherwise electrolyte will be released
through the safety valves.
Avoid quick charging if possible.
