abnormality is found.
Remove the battery terminals and clean if there are dirt and corrosion on them.
NOTE:
Battery removal procedures are as follows:
First turn ignition switch "OFF," then remove the negative cable screw and disconnect the negative
cable, then remove the positive cable screw and positive cable and remove battery.

CAUTION:
Keep the scooter's battery clean. If the battery's posts are eroded and/or are covered with white
powder clean them with warm water.
If there is obvious erosion on the battery terminals, disconnect the battery cables and remove the
erosion with a steel brush.
If the battery needs to be replaced, replace with a same closed-type battery (Maintenance-Free).
CAUTION:
This scooter uses a sealed type (Maintenance-Free) battery. Never remove the battery caps.
In order to prevent electrical leakage and self-discharge when the battery sits idle for long periods
of time, remove the battery from scooter and store it in a well-ventilated and dimly lighted area. If
the battery is to be kept on the scooter, disconnect the battery's negative cable.
Replace the battery cables after cleaning and apply a thin coat of grease to the battery terminals.
