Battery
Safety rules
Warning
Before carrying out any operations on the battery, keep in mind the safety standards (Sect. 1 - 3, General safety rules).
When under charge, batteries produce explosive gases. Keep batteries away from heat sources, sparks or open flames.
Instructions for use
The battery is a sealed, maintenance-free type and therefore requires no servicing installation.
Note
Always keep the battery clean. Apply grease around the battery terminal clamps to prevent corrosion.
Warning
Never remove the retainer bar (1) on the top of the cover or add more liquid to the battery. If the casing, the cover or the
terminals are broken, or if the sealing cap strip has been tampered with, the battery must be renewed.
Important
If the motorcycle is left unused for more than 30 days, remove the battery and store it in a safe, cool place.
Always charge the battery before the first use and after long storage periods - such as before selling the vehicle.
Removal of the battery
Insert the key in the lock and simultaneously apply downward pressure in the area of the catch to release the pin.
Pull the seat backwards to release it from the front catches and remove it from the frame.
