terminals are found to be coated with rust or an acidic white
powdery substance, then this can be cleaned away with sandpa-

RECHARGING OPERATION
• Using the multi circuit tester, check the battery voltage. If the
voltage reading is less than the 12.0 V (DC), recharge the bat-
tery with a battery charger.
"
Recharging time: 1.4 A for 5 to 10 hours or 6 A for one hour
"
• After recharging, wait for more than 30 minutes and check the
battery voltage with a multi circuit tester.
• If the battery voltage is less than the 12.5 V, recharge the bat-
tery again.
• If battery voltage is still less than 12.5 V, after recharging,
replace the battery with a new one.
• When the motorcycle is not used for a long period, check the
battery every 1 month to prevent the battery discharge.
