MINOR MAINTENANCE TIPS

KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTES OUT
OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Always charge the battery ONLY in a well-
ventilated area.

Ensure the battery vent and filler plugs are
clean and open during charging to prevent
the battery
from exploding.

Use only an appropriate and recommended
battery charger to charge batteries.

Ensure there are no open flames, sparks and
inflammable material near the battery charger
or the battery during charging.

In the event the battery becomes excessively
hot or the electrolyte “boils over”, stop
charging the battery as overheating or
electrolyte boiling over can result in an
explosion

Always ensure the battery charger is in OFF
mode while connecting it to the battery for
charging

Failure to adhere to the above warnings can
result in an explosion of the battery, causing
serious Injury or loss of life.
CAUTION

Electrolyte should be maintained ONLY between
the MAX and MIN levels indicated in the battery

Using a battery with a low or weak electrolyte,
low battery charge, can seriously harm the
battery and also the electrical and electronic
systems in the motorcycle

Filling Electrolyte over the “MAX” mark will cause
the electrolyte to spill out through the vent hole
in the battery and severely damage the
motorcycle parts and injure the occupants

Whenever required to top up electrolyte, please
use only distilled water meant for use in batteries
and from a sealed container to prevent damage
to battery internals.
