INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF BATTERY
This scooter is equipped with a maintenance-free type battery, so it is unnecessary to check and add
electrolyte. Have your scooter checked by SYM Authorized Dealer or Franchised Dealer should any
abnormality is found.
〈Cleaning of battery terminals﹚
Remove the battery terminals and clean if there are
dirt and corrosion on them.
Battery removal procedures are as follows:
Turn ignition switch “OFF”, then open the battery
cabinet door, and remove negative cable screw
firstly and disconnect the negative cable. Then,
remove positive cable screw and positive cable.
CAUTION:
Clean the battery posts with warm water if the posts are eroded and have some white powders on
them.

a steel brush or a piece of sandpaper.
Install battery cable after cleaning and apply a thin coat of grease on the terminals.
