Battery Disposal
Should the battery ever require
replacement, the original battery must
be handed to a recycling agent who will
make sure that the dangerous
substances from which the battery is
manufactured do not pollute the
environment.
Battery Maintenance
Clean the battery using a clean, dry
cloth. Be sure that the cable
connections are clean.
The battery is a sealed type and does
not require any maintenance other than
checking the Voltage and routine
recharging when required, such as
during storage.
It is not possible to adjust the battery
acid level in the battery; the sealing strip
must not be removed.
Make sure that the battery terminals
do not touch the motorcycle frame as
this may cause a short circuit or
spark, which would ignite battery
gases causing a risk of personal
injury.
The battery acid is corrosive and
poisonous and will cause damage to
unprotected skin. Never swallow
battery acid or allow it to come into
contact with the skin. To prevent
injury, always wear eye and skin
protection when handling the battery.
