5.1 Preparatory Data
Precautions on operation
* Attentions
1. The battery can be charged and discharged, and used repeatedly. If a battery is laid aside after discharging,
its service life will be shortened and its performance is degraded. Performance of a battery is usually reduced
after about 2-3 years’ run. Voltage of the performance-reduced (capacity drops) battery can be resumed, but the
voltage will run down quickly while loading.
2. Overcharging of battery: Usually overcharging is demonstrated by the battery itself. If short circuit occurs
inside the battery, there will be no voltage or very low voltage on the terminals of the battery. Adjuster fails: it
indicates too high voltage on the battery, the life-span of the battery will be shortened.
3. When the battery is not be used for a long period, it will self-discharge and its capacitance will drop. The
battery should be recharged every three months.
4. Charging system inspection: please perform inspection in the sequence listed in the fault diagnosis table.
5. If there is current going through the electric part, please do not remove the connector, or the voltage will be
very high and electronic components inside the voltage adjuster will be damaged. Set ignition switch at “Off”
position and then begin your operation.
6. It is not necessary to inspect maintenance-free (dry-charged type) battery. You don’t need to add electrolyte
and distilled water for it.
7. Inspect the entire electric load.
8. Quick charging is forbidden except in emergency.
9. During quick recharging, the battery must be removed from the motorcycle and recharged.
10. While battery is exchanged, please do not use liquid-feeding battery.
11. A voltmeter shall be employed to check recharged battery.
