MAINTENANCE FREE (MF) BATTERY
To ensure better performance and long life of battery,
you are requested to follow the steps given bellow :
1. Place the vehicle on center stand on a flat surface.
2. Remove the cover frame L as explained in page
no. 27.
3. Check the battery voltage. If the voltage measured
is less than 12.4 Volts, charge the battery using
TVS Motor Company Limited recommended
battery charger only at TVS Motor Company
Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised Dealer.
4. Adding any additional electrical accessories other
than TVS Motor Company recommended ones,
may lead to disqualification of warranty coverage.
5. While connecting the terminals, observe the
correct polarity. Connect the red wire to the ‘+’
terminal and black wire to the ‘--’ terminal of the
battery.
6. Apply petroleum jelly to the terminals to avoid
corrosion.
7. Incase of any abnormality or for removal of battery
from the vehicle, contact TVS Motor Company
Main Dealer / Authorised Dealer.
Never check the battery charger by shorting the
terminals. Always connect the positive terminal first (red
wire) and then negative (black wire) to avoid sparking.
Inversion of the battery wires can damage the battery
and the recharging system.
If the motorcycle is to remain unused for a long time (a
month or longer), it is advisable to disconnect the battery
cables or have the battery removed by skilled personnel.
