use and maintenance manual
Long battery inactivity
- If the vehicle is to remain inactive for
more than a fortnight, the battery will
need recharging to keep it from going
through a sulphation process.
- During the winter months, or when the
vehicle remains unused, to avoid its
degradation remove the battery from the
vehicle and check its charge periodically
(about once a month).
- If the battery remains in the vehicle, dis-
connect the cables from the clamps.
Recharging the battery
- Remove the battery.
- Provide a suitable battery charger.
DANGER
Carefully read the instructions of use for
the battery charger.
During recharge, make sure the area is
well ventilated and avoid inhaling the
fumes released during the recharge.
Prepare the charger for the type of charge
desired (see table).

After the recharging period:

short while even after disconnection.
Fuses
WARNING
Do not repair detective fuses.
Never use fuses different than those
specified.
This might cause damages to the elec-
tric system or even fire, in the event of a
short-circuit.
NOTE:
When a fuse is frequently defective,
a short-circuit or an overload is likely to
have taken place.
If this happens, contact a VENT Dealer.
If an electric part is found to be missing or
is working irregularly, or if the engine fails to
start, check the fuses.
Control and/or replacement of fuses
WARNING
Remove one fuse at a time, to avoid mis-
placing them.
Make sure the fuse presents:
- intact filament;
- proper assembly.
If the filament is interrupted:
WARNING
Before replacing the fuse, if possible, try
to identify the problem that caused this
inconvenience.
WARNING
Replace the fuse, if damaged, with an-
other with the same amperage.
NOTE: If the spare fuse is used, remember
to insert an identical one in its seat.
