General considerations
The battery plays a very important role in the installation of the electrical system,
as it is responsible for storing the current required to operate the vehicle, either to
help start the engine or to supply energy to other additional electricity consumers.
When working with electrical systems, special care should be taken to prevent ac
-
cidents or damage to the vehicle‘s electrical components. HMC recommends follow
-
ing the instructions contained in this manual.
The vehicles supplied by HMC used to incorporate two batteries.
The main battery is located on the left-hand side of the vehicle, under the floor,
between the driver‘s seat and the pedals.
