ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
!
The battery is designed to withstand no abnormal damage if it is recharged as specified above.
However, if charged under conditions other than those described above, the performance of the
battery may degrade signifi cantly. Do not remove the seal cover during recharging. If excess gas is
generated due to overcharging, a safety valve ensures battery safety.
3）When you don't use the vehicle for months
◆ Before storing the vehicle, please charge it and store it before removing the negative wire.
◆ Fully charged once a month during storage.
4）Battery life time
◆ If the battery fails to start the engine after several charges, it indicates that the battery has
exceeded its service life. Please replace it. (But only if the vehicle itself has no problem starting the
system.)
!
During charging, keep the battery away from sparks and naked fire. An explosive gas mixture that
releases hydrogen and oxygen. When using a battery charger, connect the battery to the charger
before turning on the charger. This process prevents the battery terminals from generating sparks that
could ignite any combustible gas. Do not put the fi re near the battery and do not loosen the terminal.
Electrolytes contain sulfuric acid. Be careful and do not let it come into contact with your skin or eyes.
If touched, rinse with plenty of water. If serious, seek medical attention immediately.
Swap places
◆ The sealed battery can give full play to its performance only when used in conjunction with
appropriate vehicle electrical equipment.
◆ Therefore, the sealed battery can only be replaced on the vehicle originally equipped with the tool.
◆ If sealed batteries are installed on vehicles with ordinary batteries, please take care of the
equipment, the life of sealed batteries will be shortened.
