SELF - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
BATTERY
Battery is located below the cover frame L. Check the
electrolyte level of the battery. It should be between the
maximum and minimum level. If the electrolyte level is
below the minimum level, add only distilled water upto the
maximum level by removing the filler caps.
Clean the battery thoroughly, apply petroleum jelly to the
battery terminals to prevent them from
corrosion.
While connecting the terminals, observe the correct
polarity. Connect the red wire to the ‘ + ’ positive terminal
and black wire to the ‘ – ’ negative terminal of the battery.
Once the battery is charged initially, never add diluted
sulphuric acid. Use only distilled water for topping up.
Never add tap water. Do not pull battery by its wires while
removing. Never check the battery charge by shorting the
terminals.
Always connect the positive terminal first and then
negative to avoid sparking.
Do not obstruct, bend or change the routing of the air vent
tube of battery. Make sure that the vent tube is firmly
attached to the battery and the other end is open and clear.

FUSE REPLACEMENT
The fuse case fitted on the battery band contains a 10 A
fuse. If the fuse is blown off, turn the ignition switch to
‘OFF’ position. Open the fuse case and replace the fuse
(extra fuse is provided inside the fuse case itself). Turn ‘ON’
the ignition switch and check for all the battery operated
electrical items. Incase the fuse blows off again, consult the
nearest TVS Motor Company Authorised Distributor or
Dealer / Authorised Service Centre.
Do not use vehicle by shorting the wires, without a fuse.
This may result in overheating of electricals / wiring and
may result in fire. Do not use fuse of higher amperage for
the safety of electrical system.
