2. Leave to stand for at least 2 hours; afterwards top-up to the level with sulphuric acid.
3. Within twenty four hours, recharge with the special (single or multiple) battery charger that re-
charges at an intensity the same as approximately 1/10 the rated capacity of the said battery. At
the end of the charge, make sure that the density of the acid is around 1.27, corresponding to 31°
Bé and that these values are stabilised.
4. Once the charge is over, level the acid (by adding distilled water). Close and clean carefully.
5. Once the above operations have been performed, install the battery in the vehicle ensuring that
it is wired up properly..
WARNING
- ONCE THE BATTERY HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE IT IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE
THE SHORT TUBE (WITH CLOSED END) NEAR THE + POSITIVE TERMINAL WITH THE CORRE-
SPONDING LONG TUBE (WITH OPEN END), THAT YOU FIND FITTED TO THE VEHICLE, TO
ENSURE THAT THE GASES THAT FORM CAN ESCAPE PROPERLY.

Battery maintenance
The battery is an electrical device which requires careful monitoring and diligent maintenance. The
maintenance rules are:
1) Check the level of the electrolyte
The electrolyte level must be checked frequently and must reach the upper level. Only use distilled
water, to restore this level. If it is necessary to add water too frequently, check the vehicle's electrical
system: the battery works overcharged and is subject to quick wear.
2)Load status check
After restoring the electrolyte level, check its density using an appropriate densitometer (see the figure).
When the battery is charged, you should detect a density of 30 to 32 Bé corresponding to a specific
weight of 1.26 to 1.28 at a temperature of no lower than 15° C.
A density reading of less than 20° Bé indicates that the battery is completely flat and it must therefore
be recharged.
If the scooter is not used for a given time (1 month or more) it will be necessary to periodically recharge
the battery.
