ENGINE CASING
To inspect and maintain the engine and battery, re-
move the engine casing. The motor must not be
running when the casing is removed.
Dismantling:

2. Pull the engine casing back a little first. Then lift
it off.
Assembly:
1. Fold the seat forward.
2. Align the casing’s upper, front pins with the
slots in the front engine casing (fig. 3). Leave ap-
prox. 2 cm clearance.
3. Guide both conical side pins into the holes in the
front engine casing. Then press the entire casing
forwards.
5. Finally fold down both casing locks (fig. 2).
BATTERY
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V
nominal voltage. The battery is completely main-
tenance free. You don’t have to check or top up the
electrolyte level.
On delivery, the battery is in the accessories box.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The
battery should always be stored fully
charged. If the battery is stored while
totally flat it could sustain permanent
damage.
If the machine is not going to be used for an ex-
tended period (more than 1 month), the battery
should be charged, disconnected and then stored in
a cool, safe place. Charge the battery completely
before reinstalling.
The battery can be charged in two ways:
1. Via a battery charger (recommended). This must
be a charger with constant voltage. The battery
can be damaged if a standard type battery
charger (for acid batteries) is used.
2. You can also allow the engine to charge the bat-
tery. In this case it is very important, above all
when starting the machine for the first time and
when it has not been used for a long time, to al-
low the engine to run continuously for at least
45 minutes.
Do not short circuit the battery’s termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which
can come into contact with the battery
terminals.
In the event of damage to the battery
casing, cover, terminals or interference
to the strip covering the valves, the bat-
tery should be replaced.
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with
a wire brush and grease them.
Position the battery in the appropriate place under
the engine casing (fig. 4) and connect the battery
cables.
Note! To avoid damage to the engine and the bat-
tery, the positive battery cable (+) should always
be connected to the battery first.
Do not run the engine when the battery is dis-
connected.
