BATTERY
Peel off metal foil seal of 12V 5A dry-charged battery & carefully fill each cell to the marked top
level using the supplied acid – as per the instructions inside the battery box. Let battery stand
with caps removed for at least 1 hour (
in a secure area away from access by children or pets
).
If you get any acid on your hands immediately flush with running water. Note that 33.5%
sulphuric battery acid is highly corrosive & considerable care must be taken handling it
during battery filling & container disposal. Refer Material Safety & Data Sheet.
When filled with acid the dry-charged battery develops 60 – 70% of full charge. To bring the
battery up to 100% charged it should be trickle charged for ~24 hours at
up to
0.5 amp. A car
battery charger may not be suitable as these are often 5 amp. During charging the battery caps
should not be installed to allow venting of produced hydrogen gas.
Remove right hand motorcycle side cover & remove battery bracket using a 10mm socket.
Connect battery leads (red lead to +ve terminal of battery, remove pink rubber cap from battery
vent & connect supplied plastic vent hose.
Install battery & retaining bracket. Make up 10mm retaining bracket bolt, ensuring the red plastic
insulator of the +ve battery lead connector is in place to avoid any short circuit. Ensure the
plastic vent hose is not crimped or folded in any way & runs thru’ to near the ground in front of
the back wheel.
NOTE
: Your NZ50 will actually run perfectly well without a battery but the electric start will not
function without the battery installed. If you choose not to install the battery before starting
engine wrap +ve (red) battery cable connector with electrical insulation tape to prevent shorting.
FUEL LINE
