CHECKING THE BATTERY

BBattery Checking
To avoid personal injury:
A Do not remove the vent caps while the engine
is running.
A Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and
clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it
away completely with water immediately and
get medical attention.
A Wear eye protection and rubber gloves when
working around the battery.
Mishandling the battery shortens the service life and adds
maintenance costs.
The original battery is maintenance free, but needs some
servicing.
If the battery is weak, the engine will be difficult to start
and the lights will be dim. It is important to check the
battery periodically.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
BBattery Charging
To avoid personal injury:
A When the battery is being activated, hydrogen
and oxygen gases in the battery are extremely
explosive. Keep open sparks and flames away
from the battery at all times, especially when
charging the battery.
A When charging the battery, ensure the vent
caps are securely in place. (if equipped)
A When disconnecting the cable from the battery,
start with the negative terminal first.
When connecting the cable to the battery, start
with the positive terminal first.
A Never check battery charge by placing a metal
object across the posts.
Use a voltmeter or hydrometer.
(1) Battery
1. To slow charge the battery, connect the battery
positive terminal to the charger positive terminal and
the negative to the negative, then recharge in the
standard fashion.
2. A boost charge is only for emergencies. It will partially
charge the battery at a high rate and in a short time.
When using a boost-charged battery, it is necessary to
recharge the battery as early as possible.
Failure to do this will shorten the battery's service life.
3. When the specific gravity of electrolyte is between
1.27 and 1.29 the charging is completed.
4. When exchanging an old battery for a new one, use
battery of equal specification shown in table 1.
