ENGLISH
NEVER invert the cable connections.
If the battery remains flat it will be seriously damaged.
Should it be necessary to remove the battery or main
fuse, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off with the
key in the “OFF”
position to allow the control system
to store the necessary data correctly.
We advise you to use protective gloves and goggles while
removing the battery from its housing, for example to
recharge the battery.
Battery recharging
• To carry out this operation, we advise you to remove the battery
from its housing.
• Disconnect the cables.
• It is good practice to recharge with an amperage of 1/10 with
respect to that of the charged battery.
• Refit the battery, being careful to connect the positive cable
(red) to the + pole and the negative cable (black) to the - pole .
• The battery must always be kept completely charged . During
winter or when the vehicle is not used, charge the battery at
least
once a month.
Danger of explosion! Never use open flames (lighters,
matches, etc.) to check the battery liquid level.
The battery contains sulphuric acid, which is highly toxic.
Avoid any contact with eyes, skin or clothes.
Keep the battery out of children’s reach.
