EN - 38 SPECIFICATIONS - OPERATION - MAINTENANCE
BATTERY
The sealed battery does not require any maintenance.
When electrolyte leaks, or other failure of the electrical
system is detected, apply to the HUSQVARNA Dealer.
If the vehicle remains unused for long periods, it is rec-
ommended to disconnect the battery from the electrical
system and store it in a dry place.
- After extensive use, battery should be allowed to run
a slow charging cycle
1A for 10 hours for 12V-10Ah battery.
- Battery quick charging is only recommended under
extremely urgent conditions, as lead elements life
will be greatly reduced.
6A for 1 hour for 12V-10Ah battery.

BATTERY CHARGER

To gain access to the battery:
- Make sure that the ignition switch has been turned to
OFF and that the key has been removed;
- remove the saddle as described in the specific para-
graph;
- first remove the BLACK or BLUE negative cable, then
the RED positive cable (when reassembling, first con-
nect the RED positive cable, then the BLACK or BLUE
negative cable);
- release the elastic (1);
- 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 con-
nect the RED positive cable to the battery positive termi-
nal 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 imme-
diately 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 neutral grease or petroleum jelly.
CAUTION*:
Even if not used, the battery shall be
recharged with a slow charging cycle at
least every 3 weeks.
WARNING*:
When removing the battery, avoid all
contact between the battery terminals
and the metal parts of the vehicle (e.g.
chassis) to prevent short-circuiting.
