KEEP ELECTROLYTE OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
The battery contains harmful materials. Always
keep children away from the battery whether or not it
is fitted in the motorcycle.
Do not attach jump leads to the battery, touch the
battery cables together or reverse the polarity of the

which would ignite battery gases causing a risk of
