Connecting The Battery; Using The Multi Circuit Tester - Suzuki GZ250 Marauder Service Manual

BATTERY
• The MF battery used in this motorcycle does not require
maintenance (e.g., electrolyte level inspection, distilled
water replenishing).
• During normal charging, no hydrogen gas is produced.
However, if the battery is overcharged, hydrogen gas
may be produced. Therefore, be sure that there are no
fire or spark sources nearby (e.g., short-circuit) when
charging the battery.
• Be sure to recharge the battery in a well-ventilated and
open area.
• Note that the charging system for the MF battery is dif-
ferent from that of a conventional battery. Do not replace
the MF battery with a conventional battery.

• After connecting the battery, apply a light coat of grease
to the battery terminals.
• Reinstall the cover over the battery (
WIRING PROCEDURE
• Properly route the wire harness according to "WIRE,
CABLE AND HOSE ROUTING". (See pp. 7-11 to -18.)

USING THE MULTI CIRCUIT TESTER

• Properly use the multi circuit tester
Improper use can cause damage to the motorcycle and
tester.
• If the voltage and current values are not known, begin
measuring in the highest range.
• When measuring the resistance, make sure that no volt-
age is applied. If voltage is applied, the tester will be
damaged.
• After using the tester, turn the switch to the OFF position.
CAUTION
Before using the multi circuit tester, read its
instruction manual.
