Battery
A poorly maintained battery will
corrode and discharge quickly. The
electrolyte level, battery lead connec-
tions and breather hose routing
should be checked before each ride
and at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the scooter on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright
position.
NOTE:
Make sure that the scooter is positio-
ned straight up when checking the
electrolyte level.
2. Remove panel B. (See page 6-6.)
