CHECKING
THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Carefully read page 66 (BATTERY).
To check the electrolyte level, proceed as
follows:
◆
Lift the fuel tank, see page 57 (LIFTING
THE FUEL TANK).
◆
Keep the vehicle in vertical position, with
the two wheels resting on the ground.
◆
Make sure that the fluid level is included
between the two "
MIN
" and "
MAX
"
notches stamped on the battery side.
Otherwise:
◆
Remove the battery, see page 67 (CHE-
CKING AND CLEANING THE TERMI-
NALS).
◆
Remove the element plugs.
Top up with distilled water only.
Do not exceed the “MAX” mark,
since the electrolyte level in-
creases during the recharge.
◆
Top up by adding distilled water.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
Carefully read page 66 (BATTERY).
◆
Remove the battery, see page 67 (RE-
MOVING THE BATTERY).
◆
Remove the element plugs.
◆
Check the electrolyte level, see beside
(CHECKING THE ELECTROLYTE LE-
VEL).
◆
Connect the battery with a battery char-
ger.
◆
A recharge with an amperage equal to
1/10th of the battery capacity is recom-
mended.
◆
After the recharging operation, check the
electrolyte level again and if necessary
top up with distilled water.
◆
Put back the element plugs.
Reassemble the battery only 5-10
minutes after disconnecting the
recharge apparatus, since the
battery continues to produce gas for a
short lapse of time.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Carefully read page 66 (BATTERY).
◆
Make sure that the ignition switch is in
position “
”.
◆
Lift the fuel tank, see page 57 (LIFTING
THE FUEL TANK).
◆
Put the battery in its container.
◆
Connect the breather pipe.
Always connect the battery
breather pipe, to prevent the sul-
phuric acid vapours from cor-
roding the electric system, painted
parts, rubber elements or gaskets when
they exit the breather pipe itself.
◆
Connect, in order, the positive (+) and
negative (–) cable.
◆
Cover the terminals of the cables and of
the battery with neutral grease or Vaseli-
ne.
◆
Position the coolant expansion tank (2)
correctly.
◆
Tighten the screw (3).
◆
Lower and lock the fuel tank.
