Warning

Environmental hazard

Problem materials cause environmental damage.

Dispose of oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning substances, brake fluid, batteries, etc. according to regulations.

Info

Even if there is no load on the battery, it loses power every day.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Fast recharging with a high charge current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charge current, the charge voltage and the charge time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the breathing holes.
The battery capacity is then reduced.
If the battery becomes discharged from starting, it must be recharged immediately.
If the battery rests for an extended time in a discharged state, it becomes over-discharged and sulfated, which will result in its
destruction.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.

Switch off all power-consuming components and switch off the engine.

Remove the seat. (

p. 6)

Disconnect the negative (minus) cable of the battery to prevent damage to the vehi-
cle's electronics.

Connect the battery charger to the battery. Switch on the battery charger.

Battery charger (58429074000)

You can also use the battery charger to test rest potential and start potential of the
battery, and to test the generator. With this device, you cannot overcharge the bat-
tery.

Info

Never remove the lid

.

Charge the battery according to the instructions

on the battery casing.

After charging the battery, switch off the battery charger. Reconnect the battery.
Guideline

The charge current, charge voltage and charge time must not be exceeded.
Charge the battery regularly when the
motorcycle is not in use.

Refueling

Danger

Fire hazard

Fuel can easily catch fire.

Never fill up the vehicle near open flames or burning cigarettes, and always switch off the engine first. Be careful that no
fuel is spilt, especially on hot vehicle components. Clean up spilt fuel immediately.

Fuel in the fuel tank expands when warm and can escape if the tank is overfilled. See specifications on filling up with fuel.

Warning

Danger of poisoning

Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.

Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse imme-
diately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed,
contact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel.

Warning

Environmental hazard

Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.

Do not allow fuel to get into the ground water, the ground, or the sewage system.
