MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

This section describes the service procedures for each
section of Periodic Maintenance.
BATTERY / FUSE
Inspect Initial 1 000 km and every 5 000 km
BATTERY
The battery must be removed to check the electrolyte level
and specific gravity.
Remove the right frame cover.
Remove battery
Remove battery
Remove battery from the chassis.
Check electrolyte for level and specific gravity. Add
distilled water, as necessary, to keep the surface of the
electrolyte above the LOWER level line
UPPER level line
hydrometer to determine the charged condition. An S.G.
reading of 1.28 (20 C) or under means that the battery
needs recharging off the machine: take it off and charge it
from a recharger. Charging the battery in place can lead to
failure of the regulator/rectifier.
Standard specific gravity: 1.28 ± 0.01 at 20 C
09900-28403 : Hydrometer
To install the battery, reverse the procedure described above.
CAUTION
When installing the battery lead wires, fix the
and lead last.
Make sure that the breather pipe is tightly secured and
undamaged, and is routed as shown in the figure.
FUSE
The fuse locates on the belt of the battery. In case of engine
stop suddenly or opened circuit, the fuse must be inspected.
WARNING
Do not use a fuse of a different specification , or it will
incur negative effect to electric, fire and power loss of
engine which is very dangerous.
Do not use aluminum, iron wire or any other substitute for
the fuse. If the fuse blows frequently, it indicates the
electric system may has problem. Always investigate the
cause, correct it and then replace the fuse.
