Fuses

The electrical system is protected by a fuse loca-
ted on the r.h.s. of the battery bay. To replace it,
lift the seat, remove the battery access door and
then the transparent fuse cover. Ignition system,

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFRESHING THE STOCK CHARGE OF AN OPEN CIRCUIT
1) Voltage check
Before installing the battery on the vehicle, check the open circuit voltage with a normal tester.
- If the voltage exceeds 12.60 V, the battery may be installed without any renewal recharge.
- If voltage is below 12.60 V, a renewal recharge is required as explained in 2).
2) Constant voltage battery charge mode
-Constant voltage equal to 14.40÷14.70V
-Initial charge voltage equal to 0.3÷0.5 for nominal capacity
-Duration of the charge: 10 to 12 h recommended
Minimum 6 h
Maximum 24 h
3) Constant current battery charge mode
-Charge current equal to 1/10 of the nominal capacity of the battery
-Duration of the charge: 5 h
WARNING
-WHEN THE BATTERY IS REALLY FLAT (WELL BELOW 12.6V) IT MIGHT BE THAT 5 HOURS OF
RECHARGING ARE NOT ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE.
