SECTION 4 - MAINTENANCE

Battery
The battery fluid level should be kept within the upper and
lower level lines. When the fluid level nears the lower Level
line, refill with distilled water to the upper level line.
When cleaning the terminal terminals, remove the screws
attaching the battery cover on the seat and then open the
battery cover.
When the battery terminals are corroded, take out the battery
for cleaning. After cleaning, apply a thin coat of grease or
Vase line to battery terminals and then install the battery.
Fuses
When frequent fuse failures occur, it usually indicates a
short circuit or an overload in the electrical system. The
electrical system’s fuses are located adjacent to the battery,
under the floor mat of the motorcycle.
Fuse specification:
10A
NOTE: If you have to replace a blown fuse, get a new
spare fuse immediately. See your KYMCO dealer for
electrical system diagnosis and repair.
If the motorcycle will not be used for a long time, the
battery will discharge electricity by itself. Remove the
battery and put it in a cool place after it is fully charged to
prevent electricity leakage.
A clogged or kinked breather tube will increase the
battery inside pressure and result in cracks.
The battery fluid will overflow to corrode the motorcycle if
too much distilled water is filled.
Turn off the ignition switch before removal or installation.
The negative (-) terminal shall be removed first and the
Positive (+) terminal shall be installed first. Tighten the
loose terminal nuts securely.
Never use a fuse with a different rating from that speci
fied. Serious damage to the electrical system or a fire
hazard may result, causing a dangerous loss of lights
or engine power.
