An inappropriately dis-
posed battery can be
harmful to the environ-
ment and human health.
Dispose the battery
according to your local
law(s) or regulation.
• When lifting a plastic-cased
battery, excessive pressure
on the case may cause battery
acid to leak, resulting in per-
sonal injury. Lift with a battery
carrier or with your hands on
opposite corners.
• Never attempt to recharge the
battery when the battery
cables are connected.
• The electrical ignition system
works with high voltage.
Never touch these compo-
nents with the engine running
or the ignition switched on.
Failure to follow the above
warnings can result in serious
bodily injury or death.
Maintenance
CAUTION
• When you don't use the vehi-
cle for a long time in the low
temperature area, separate the
battery and keep it indoors.
• Always charge the battery
fully to prevent the battery
case damaged in low tempera-
ture area.
• If you connect unauthorized
electronic devices to the bat-
tery, the battery may be dis-
charged. Never use unautho-
rised devices.
• Make sure the battery cap is
closed. If the battery cap is not
closed securely, it can mal-
function because the electric
components are exposed to
moisture.
