Installing The Battery; Changing Fuses - APRILIA SCARABEO 50 I.E - 2002 Manual

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Carefully read p. 68 (BATTERY).
Make sure that the ignition switch is set to
" ".
Position the battery in its housing.
Connect up the battery bleeder pipe.
CAUTION
Always connect the battery bleeder pipe,
to prevent any sulfuric acid fumes pro-
duced by the battery from corroding the
electrical system, paintwork, rubber ele-
ments or gaskets.
The bleeder pipe must be connected in
such a way that it is not crushed, other-
wise this might cause an increase in pres-
sure inside the battery, which may dam-
age it.
First connect up the positive cable (red) (+)
and then the negative one (-).
Coat the terminals and clamps with spe-
cial grease or Vaseline.
CAUTION
When reassembling, the electrical cables
must be fed into a position in which they
are not crushed in any way.
The negative cable (–) must not cross the
positive terminal (+), but must be posi-
tioned to the side, between the battery
and the holder.
Push the battery into the battery holder.
Close the battery cover (1).
Lower the saddle, see page 33 (UNLOCK-
ING/LOCKING SADDLE).

CHANGING FUSES

Carefully read p. 50 (MAINTENANCE).
CAUTION
Do not repair faulty fuses.
Use only recommended fuses.
Using fuses of an improper capacity can
cause damage to the electrical system or
an electrical fire, which could result in
total destruction of your vehicle as well
as injury to you.
NOTE
If a fuse blows frequently, there prob-
ably is a short circuit or an overload in the
electrical system. If this occurs, take the
vehicle to your Local aprilia Dealer.
If an electric component does not work or
works irregularly, or if the vehicle fails to start,
it is necessary to check the fuse (1).
