periodically recharged. Within a period of inactivity of approximately tree months, at
standard atmospheric conditions, the battery should be completely discharged. When
reinstalling the battery on the vehicle, pay attention not to invert the connections,
considering that the ground wire (black and marked with a (-) sign) must be connected to
the negative terminal, whereas the two red
wires, marked as (+), must be connected to the
positive terminal.
9.2.16.4 Checking the Battery Charge Level
Warning – Before recharging the battery, remove the plugs from each element. Keep
sparks and free flames away from the battery while recharging.
Remove the battery from the vehicle by disconnecting the negative terminal first.
Normal bench charging must be performed using the recommended battery charger
020333Y (single) or 020334Y (multiple), setting the battery charge selector to the type of
battery that requires recharging (i.e., at a current equal to 1/10 of the battery normal
capacity). Connections to the power supply source must be implemented by connecting the
corresponding poles (+ to + and - to -).
9.2.16.5 Cleaning the Battery
Keep the battery clean, especially the top; coat the terminals with Vaseline.
Warning – Never use fuses having a greater capacity than the recommended value. The
use of a fuse of unsuitable capacity may result in serious damages to the whole vehicle or
even culminate in a fire.
Warning – Drinking water contains mineral salts that can be extremely harmful to the
battery: only use distilled water.
Warning – To ensure maximum performance the battery must be charged before using the
vehicle. Insufficient battery charge or low electrolyte level, when first used, will result in
premature battery failure.
