FILLING UP THE BATTERIES
For filling the batteries follow these instructions:
lift the seat cover
disconnect the battery power cable and remove the
batteries from their compartment to make it easier
to fill them with acid
Remove all the 12 caps and fill each battery cell
with acid ( sulphuric acid solution density not less
than 1,270kg/l at 25˚ C) up to the level indicated on
the batteries.
Wait one hour and recheck the acid level, fill if
necessary. Let the batteries rest for another hour;
then proceed with recharging the batteries.
WARNING
: Remove the air venting hole cap from
the batteries.
(Fig. 3)
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
Before installing batteries, which have already been
filled up, charge them with a suitable battery
charger. During this
operation all
battery caps must
be open.
CASE 1
: with a 24
Volt battery charger
the two 12-Volt
batteries must be
connected in series.
(Fig. B)
NOTE
: the charging
current must be
about 2 Ampere.
CASE 2
: with a 12 Volt
battery charger each
battery must be
charged separately.
(Fig. C)
NOTE
: the charging
current must be about 2
Ampere.
After the batteries have been charged, replace the
caps and clean off any acid that may have spilled on
the casing. Put the batteries back in the battery
compartment.
Connect the battery cables being very careful not to
create contacts between the ( + ) and the ( - ) poles
of the batteries. Proceed with connecting the
POSITIVE POLE FIRST , then cover it with an
insulator. Then connect the bridge and insulate the
poles, the bridge connects the two batteries in
series.
Last, connect the NEGATIVE POLE and cover it with
the insulator.
Close the seat cover.
(Fig. 8)
Each time the batteries are charged, repeat the
above procedure.
TANK REFUELLING AND OIL CHECKING
Fill the fuel tank with UNLEADED FUEL only.
Check the oil level as specified in the Engine
Instruction Manual.
SIDE BROOM

the way out.
(item 10 Fig. A)
.
Insert the ignition key into the panel
(item 6 Fig. A)
and turn it clockwise to the ON position. After
about three seconds the battery voltage will appear
on the display
(item 3 Fig. A)
.
Now turn the key to the START position.
Once the engine is running, release the ignition key
and slowly push the start choke knob in.
(item 10
Fig. A)
