vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may
also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanness 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.
- Take your vehicle to a garage (as indicated in the "Vehicle not used for extended
periods" section) to have the battery removed. Have the battery cleaned, charged fully
and stored in a dry, ventilated place. Recharge at least once every two months.
CAUTION
THE BATTERY MUST BE RECHARGED WITH A CURRENT LOAD EQUAL TO 1/10
OF THE BATTERY RATED CAPACITY AND FOR A PERIOD NOT LONGER THAN
8 HOURS. TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO SERVICE CEN-
TRE FOR THIS OPERATION. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE
LEADS ARE CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.
