Electrical System/Battery/Headlamps - Fantic Caballero 125 series Owner's Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND HEADLAMPS
For the diagram of the whole electrical system of
the vehicle, see page 105 (WIRING DIAGRAM).
If you do not have the knowledge or ability to
understand the wiring diagram, it is better to
consult a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer, especially if
any faults occur that necessitate working on the
system.
It is difficult for the electrical system to be dam-
aged.
It is more likely that light bulbs may burn out and
therefore need replacing.
BATTERY
Maintenance-free battery (1) is installed under
the seat into the airbox.
There is no need to check the level of the elec-
trolyte or top up with water.
Keep the battery terminals clean. If necessary,
protect them with a thin film of acid free grease.
REMOVING THE BATTERY
- Remove seat and disconnect the negative
terminal and then the positive terminal from
the battery.
- Release rubber band.
- Remove the battery.
When reinstalling the battery, fit it with the ter-
minals facing outward (see figure) and connect
the positive and then the negative terminal to
the battery.

WARNING:
Exercise extreme caution if, for any reason, the
electrolyte (sulphuric acid) should come out of
the battery.
The electrolyte can cause serious burns. In case
of contact with the skin, rinse abundantly with
water. Should the electrolyte come into contact
with the eyes, rinse with water for at least 15
minutes and immediately seek medical atten-
tion. Even though the battery is sealed, there is
a possibility that explosive gases may leak out.
Keep sparks and open flames away from the
battery. Keep spent batteries out of the reach of
children and dispose of them as prescribed by
law. Do not remove the protections. When in-
stalling the battery.
