12 V / 4 Ah
Checking the electrolyte level
The electrolyte level, which should be checked regularly, must always be at the max-
imum level. To reach this level, use only distilled water. Should it become necessary
to top up the battery with water too frequently, check the vehicle's electrical system
because the battery is being overloaded, causing it to lose power quickly.
CAUTION
ELECTROLYTE CONTAINS SULPHURIC ACID: AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES,
SKIN AND CLOTHES. IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT, RINSE WITH ABUN-
DANT WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR.
Long periods of inactivity (03_16)
Battery performance will be poor if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the
result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging, and may be due to residual
absorption by vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery
performance may also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanliness of the
poles. In order to avoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, follow
any of these steps:
- At least once a month start the engine and run it slightly above idle speed for 10-15
minutes. This keeps all the engine components, as well as the battery, in good working
order.
