Remove the battery from its compart-
ment, see p. 50 (REMOVING THE BAT-
TERY).
◆
Make sure that the fluid level is included
between the two “MIN” and “MAX” notch-
es stamped on the battery side.
Otherwise:
◆
Unscrew and remove the element plugs.
Top up with distilled water only.
Do not exceed the “MAX” mark,
since the electrolyte level in-
creases during the recharge.
◆
Top up by adding distilled water.

Unscrew and remove the element plugs.
◆
Check the electrolyte level, see beside
(CHECKING THE ELECTROLYTE LEV-
EL).
◆
Connect the battery with a battery charg-
er.
◆
A recharge with an amperage equal to
1/10th of the battery capacity is recom-
mended.
◆
After the recharging operation, check the
electrolyte level again and if necessary
top up with distilled water.
◆
Replace the element plugs.
Reinstall the battery only 5-10
minutes after disconnecting the
recharge equipment, since the
battery keeps sending out extremely in-
flammable hydrogen gas for a short
lapse of time.

◆
Put the battery in its container.
◆
Connect the breather pipe.
Always connect the battery
breather pipe, to prevent the sul-
phuric acid vapours from cor-
roding the electric system, painted
parts, rubber elements or gaskets when
they exit the breather pipe itself.
◆
Connect, in order, the positive (+) and
negative (–) cable.
◆
Cover the terminals with special grease
or Vaseline.
◆
Put back the rear inspection cover, see
p. 46 (REMOVING THE REAR INSPEC-
TION COVER).
