To check the electrolyte level, proceed as
follows:
◆
Make sure that the ignition switch is in
position “
m”.
◆
Remove the battery/tool kit compartment
cover, see p. 20 (BATTERY/ TOOL KIT
COMPARTMENT).
◆
Disconnect the negative cable (–) and
then the positive cable (+) of the battery.
◆
Disconnect the breather pipe (1).
◆
Extract the battery and put it on a plane
surface.
◆
Make sure that the fluid level is included
between the two "MIN" and "MAX"
notches stamped on the battery side.
If necessary, top up by adding distilled wa-
ter.
Never exceed the "MAX" notch, since the
level increases during the recharge.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
Check the electrolyte leve, top up if neces-
sary, then proceed as follows:
◆
Put the battery in a cool and dry place.
◆
Unscrew and remove the element plugs.
◆
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.
◆
Tighten the element plugs.
◆
Put back the battery in its container.
◆
Connect the battery breather pipe (1).
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.

If the vehicle remains unused for a long pe-
riod, remove the battery and place it in a
cool and dry place. Recharge it completely,
by using a trickle charge.
If the battery remains on the vehicle, dis-
connect the cables from the terminals.
It is important to check the charge periodi-
cally (about once a month), during the win-
ter or when the vehicle remains unused, in
order to prevent the deterioration of the
battery.
