Periodic maintenance and adjustment
Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed
space.
Take care not to spill electrolyte
on the drive chain, as this may
weaken it, shorten chain life and
possibly result in an accident.
KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTER-
IES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.

To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
electrolyte level.
2. Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.
TIP
The electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Maximum level mark
2. Minimum level mark
3. If the electrolyte is at or below the
minimum level mark, add distilled
water to raise it to the maximum
level mark. NOTICE: Use only
distilled water, as tap water
contains minerals
harmful to the battery.
4. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.
