Electrical System; Battery Check And Charging - Benelli TRK 502 Service Station Manual

WARNING
The batteries produce a nitrogen-based explosive gas and
contain electrolyte, which is composed of sulfuric acid, a
poisonous substance and highly caustic.
The following precautions should be always observed:
Wear protective goggles when handling a battery or while
working nearby.
Recharge the batteries in a suitably ventilated area.
Battery must be far away from fi re, sparks or open fl ames
(e.g., welding equipment, lighted cigarettes, etc.).
DO NOT SMOKE during recharging or handling of the bat-
tery.
PUT BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE BEYOND THE REACH
OF CHILDREN.
Do not allow electrolyte to come into contact with body parts
to prevent severe burns or permanent injury to eyes.
FIRST AID IN THE EVENT OF CONTACT:
EXTERNAL CONTACT
• Skin: wash with water.
• Eyes: Wash with water jets for 15 minutes and seek imme-
diate medical attention.
SWALLOWING
• Drink large quantities of water or milk, milk of magnesia,
beaten egg or vegetal oil. Seek immediate medical atten-
tion.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This battery is sealed. Do not remove the sealing caps in any
case, to preserve the equilibrium between the cells and not
to affect the battery performance.
The time, the amperage, and the voltage for recharging the
battery differ from the standard ones. Recharge the battery
as shown in the fi gures. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level drops signifi cantly. Therefore, during re-
charging, pay the utmost attention.
NOTE:_________________________________________
As the battery is sealed, the recharging state cannot be
checked by measuring the electrolyte density.
Therefore, check battery charging by measuring the voltage
on the battery terminals.
Remove:
• Rider and passenger seats, see chapter "Removal of rider
and passenger seats, Chapter 4".
