Bonding Wires; Battery - Suzuki DF100 Owner's Manual

BONDING WIRES

Bonding wires are used to electrically connect
the engine components so they exist in a com-
mon ground circuit. This allows them to be pro-
tected against electrolysis by the anodes.
These wires and their terminals should be
checked periodically to be sure they have not
been damaged.

BATTERY

If you are using a maintenance-free battery,
inspect the window area according to the
instructions on the battery to make sure the bat-
tery is in good condition.
If you are not using a maintenance-free battery,
the battery fluid level should be checked every
50 hours of operation or 3 months. The battery
solution level must be kept between the MAX
and the MIN level lines at all times. If the level
drops below the MIN level line, add DISTILLED
WATER ONLY until the battery solution level
reaches the MAX level line.

Battery acid is poisonous and corrosive,
and can cause severe injury.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing,
and painted surfaces. If battery acid
comes in contact with any of these, flush
immediately with large amounts of water.
If acid contacts the eyes or skin, get
immediate medical attention.
 WARNING
If you are not careful when checking or
servicing the battery, you can cause a
short circuit, which could result in an
explosion, fire, or circuit damage.
Disconnect the negative (black) cable
when checking or servicing the battery.
Be careful not to allow a metal tool or
other metal object to touch the battery's
positive terminal and the motor at the
same time.
