CHECKING
THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Carefully read pag. 73 (BATTERY).
CAUTION
Position the vehicle on firm and flat
ground.
◆
Remove the left side cover, see pag. 58
(REMOVING THE SIDE COVERS).
◆
Keep the vehicle in vertical position, with
the two wheels resting on the ground.
CAUTION
Failure to perform the operations
described above may lead to the wrong
measurement of the level.
◆
Make sure that the fluid level is included
between the two ≈MIN∆ and ≈MAX∆
notches stamped on the battery side.
Otherwise:
◆
Remove the battery from its
compartment, see pag. 74 (REMOVING
THE BATTERY).
◆
Unscrew and remove the element plugs.
WARNING
Top up with distilled water only. Do not
exceed the “MAX” mark, since the
electrolyte level increases during the
recharge.
◆
Top up by adding distilled water.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
Carefully read pag. 73 (BATTERY).
◆
Remove the battery from its
compartment, see pag. 74 (REMOVING
THE BATTERY).
◆
Unscrew and remove the element plugs.
◆
Check the electrolyte level, vedi sopra
(CHECKING THE ELECTROLYTE
LEVEL).
◆
Connect the battery with a battery
charger.
◆
A recharge with an amperage equal to
1/10th of the battery capacity is
recommended.
◆
After the recharging operation, check the
electrolyte level again and if necessary
top up with distilled water.
◆
Replace the element plugs.
WARNING
Reinstall the battery only 5-10 minutes
after disconnecting the recharge
equipment, since the battery keeps
sending out extremely inflammable
hydrogen gas for a short lapse of time.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Carefully read pag. 73 (BATTERY).
◆
Connect the breather pipe (1).
WARNING
Always connect the battery breather
pipe, to prevent the sulphuric acid
vapours from corroding 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 the battery in its container.
◆
Put back the cover (2).
◆
Screw and tighten the screw (3).
◆
Put back the left side cover, see pag. 58
(REMOVING THE SIDE COVERS).
