ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Battery

The sealed battery does not require any maintenance. Replace the battery in
the event of electrolyte leaks.
If the vehicle remains unused for long periods, it is recommended to discon-
nect the battery from the electrical system and store it in a dry place.
- After an intensive use of the battery, it is advisable to carry out a standard
slow charging cycle (12V-14Ah battery: 1.4A for 10 hours).
- Quick charging is advised only in situations of extreme necessity since the
life of lead elements is drastically reduced by such cycle (12V-14Ah battery:
2.5A for 2 hours).

Battery charger

To gain access to the battery (2):
- Insert the key in latch (1) then turn clockwise to release the saddle lock;
remove the saddle.
- Release the elastic strap (3) holding the battery;
- first remove the BLACK or BLUE negative cable, then the RED positive
cable (when reassembling, first connect the RED positive cable, then the
BLACK or BLUE negative cable);
- remove the battery (2) from its housing.
Check, using a voltmeter, that battery voltage is not less than 12.5 V.
If it is not so, the battery needs to be charged.
Using a battery charger with a constant voltage, first connect the RED positive
cable to the battery positive terminal then the BLACK or BLUE negative cable
to the battery negative terminal.
The voltage reaches a constant value only after a few hours, therefore it is
suggested NOT to measure it immediately after having charged or discharged
the battery.
Always check the battery charge before reinstalling it on the vehicle.
The battery should be kept clean and the terminals coated with grease.
