imise battery life:
Keep the surface of the battery
clean and dry
Do not open the battery
Do not top up with water
Be sure to read and comply
with the instructions for char-
ging the battery on the follow-
ing pages
Do not turn the battery upside
down.
ATTENTION

clock) draining connected

battery if the motorcycle is to
remain out of use for more
than four weeks.
