Battery 

This model is equipped with a VRLA
(Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery.
There is no need to check the electro-
lyte or to add distilled water. However,
the battery lead connections need to be
checked and, if necessary, tightened.

EWA10760

WARNING

_ 

●

Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains sul-
furic acid, which causes severe
burns. Avoid any contact with
skin, eyes or clothing and al-

ways shield your eyes when
working near batteries. In case
of contact, administer the fol-
lowing FIRST AID.

• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty

of water.

• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-

tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.

• EYES: Flush with water for 15

minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.

●

Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed
space.

●

KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTER-
IES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN. 

_

To access the battery

1. Open the seat. (See page 4-9.)

2. Remove the battery cover by re-

moving the screws.

To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the bat-
tery as soon as possible if it seems to
have discharged. Keep in mind that the
battery tends to discharge more quickly
if the vehicle is equipped with optional
electrical accessories.
