WARNING
USED BATTERIES ARE HARMFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. COLLECTION
AND DISPOSAL SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULA-
TIONS IN FORCE.
Checkingtheelectrolytelevel
The electrolyte level, which should be checked regularly, must always be at the max-
imum level. To reach this level, use only distilled water. Should it become necessary
to top up the battery with water too frequently, check the vehicle's electrical system
because the battery is being overloaded, causing it to lose power quickly.
CAUTION
ELECTROLYTE CONTAINS SULPHURIC ACID: AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES,
SKIN AND CLOTHES. IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT, RINSE WITH ABUN-
DANT WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR.
Long periods of inactivity
If the vehicle has not been used for long periods, it is necessary to periodically re-
charge the battery, bearing in mind that the battery tends to go completely flat within
around three months. The battery must be recharged with a current load equal to 1/10
of the battery rated capacity (~ 1A ) for a period not longer than 8 hours. Contact
an
Authorised Service Centre to carry out this operation safely. When refitting a re-
moved battery, make sure that all terminals and the vent pipe are properly connected.
