A. CHECKING AND CHARGING
THE BATTERY
NOTE:
The battery used in this vehicle is a mainte-
nance free (MF) "Valve Regulated Lead
Acid Battery", it has been pre-filled with
electrolyte at the factory so there is no need
to add fluid at any time.
1. Check:
Using a digital volt meter, the state of a dis-
charged MF battery can be checked by
measuring open-circuit voltage (the voltage
measured with the positive and negative
terminals being disconnected).
Open-circuit voltage
12.8 V or higher
Charging time
Charging is not necessary
WARNING
D Do not attempt boost charging under
any circumstances.
D Battery electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous, causing severe burns,
etc. It contains sulfuric acid. Avoid
contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Antidote: External -Flush with water. In-
ternal-Drink large quantities of water or
milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beat-
en egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician
immediately.

B. CHECKING THE TIRE
PRESSURE
1. Check:
D tire pressure
Out of specification ! Adjust.
WARNING
D The tire pressure should only be
checked and regulated when the tire
temperature equals the ambient air
temperature.
D The tire pressure and the suspension
must be adjusted according to the to-
tal weight (including cargo, rider,
passenger, and accessories) and the
anticipated riding speed.
D Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause tire damage, an acci-
dent, or an injury.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE.
–9–
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get prompt medical attention. Bat-
teries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc., away.
Ventilate when charging or using in en-
closed space. Always shield eyes when
working near batteries.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHIL-
DREN.
CAUTION:
D If the voltage is lower than 12.8 V the
battery must be charged. If this is not
done, the life of the battery will be
shortened drastically. Refer to the
service manual for battery charging
instructions.
D Never remove the strip of caps, nor
add any water or electrolyte.
