Clean lights frequently and replace burned out lamps promptly. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low light conditions until the headlight is replaced. Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.
MAINTENANCE HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT NOTICE Include the weight of a rider on the seat while performing this procedure. To adjust the headlight beam, do the following: 1. Place the vehicle on a level surface with the headlight approximately 25 feet (7.6 m) from a wall. 2.

MAINTENANCE FUSES If the engine stops or will not start, or if you experience other electrical failures, a fuse may need replacement. Locate and correct any short circuits that may have caused the blown fuse, then replace the fuse. The fuse box is located under the seat, next to the battery .
MAINTENANCE BATTERY Your vehicle has a sealed battery, which requires little maintenance. Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels.
Check battery voltage each month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge. Gravely recommends maintaining battery charge by using a battery tender charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self- discharge.
