Inspection and cleaning of battery
Check the battery for damage such as
scratch and deterioration.
Check the terminal for corrosion. If cor-
roded, grind with wire brush or sanding
paper, and apply grease at the terminal
Also clean outside of the battery.
Do inspection and cleaning also at the bat-
tery storage area of main machine side.
Check also the anti-vibration mat. If it is
necessary to replace with a new one due
to deterioration or breakage, replace it.
After the battery inspection is completed,
securely fix it with the battery holder.
When battery is dead
“Battery is dead” when the starter does not
rotate. Also, even when the starter rotates,
if the rotation is weak and the engine does
not start, then the battery is dead.
Method taken for emergency
Start the engine manually (use recoil
starter or crank handle)
If impossible to start the engine manually
due to breakage or breakdown, jump-start
the engine using another vehicle.
Starting method using booster cable
(Jump-starting)(Fig. 67)
Connect the booster cable by the following
order.
+ (red) terminal of the battery of machine
side
+ (red) terminal of the battery of another
vehicle side
- (black) terminal of the battery of another
vehicle side
Unpainted and protruded part of the crank
case of the engine shown by “Fig. 67”
(Connect the ground wire.)
CAUTION
䟿
If an old battery is used, even when the bat-
tery checker is not lighted (indicating charg-
ing level low), the cell starter might not oper-
ate because of low charging level. If that
happens, change the battery with the new
one.
CAUTION
䟿
Do not keep using the deteriorated battery.
Do not operate with the battery removed.
Engine regulator might be damaged.

For the above connection at
䐢
, never
connect the minus (black) terminal of bat-
tery directly. Spark occurs, and then ex-
plosion of the battery might occur due to
ignite to the flammable gas from the bat-
tery by sparking.
When connecting the booster cable, never
contact the plus (+) terminal and the
minus (-) terminal. Spark occurs, and then
explosion of the battery might occur due
to ignite to the flammable gas from the
battery by sparking.
Do not put fire near the battery. There is a
danger of explosion.
During charging the battery, do not go
near the battery. Battery fluid that con-
tains dilute sulfuric acid might be ejected.
Eye and skin that contacted with such
fluid might lead to serious injury. In case
of contacting with battery fluid wash with
plenty of water, then see a doctor.
