ATTENTION:
Always connect the - (negative) terminal before and the + (positive) terminal
after. Always disconnect the battery in opposite order.
??Recharge the battery at least once every 6 months.
??Never put the battery in contact with solvents, gasolines, oils, plastifiers or rags
containing such elements. The external case of the battery could be damaged.
??Never press or bend or overheat (by welding) the battery terminals.
Other recommendations
??Pay attention not to have free fires upon or around the battery.
??Never shortcircuit the terminals.
??Never open the battery or throw it in the fire.
??In case the electrolite (diluted Sulfuric acid) gets in contact with skin or clotches,
immediately wash with water. In case it gets in touch with eyes, wash and apply for
medical assistance.
??Carefully check the external case of battery and replace in case of breakages,
swellings of the case or of battery cover.
??Before use, clean the battery from dust and check that the terminals are not
oxidyzed or damaged.
??When the battery comes to an end never throw it in the garbage but deliver it to an
authorized disposer.
13- SPARKPLUG AND THERMAL DEGREE
The engine is supplied with a standard NGK BR10EG sparkplug which represents a
good compromise between the needs of a good break-in and the racing needs in
normal conditions.
Use of different sparkplugs is possible and, as a general information, we are
attaching a correspondence list among sparkplugs of other brands based on thermal
degree which represents the capacity of the sparkplug to dissipate the internal heat.
The colour of the various parts of the sparkplug more exposed to the combustion
flames gives a good indication on the adequacy of the thermal degree and on the
carburetion. It is necessary though to understand which of the two parameters has to
be changed and only the experience tells how to identify the most proper thermal
degree of a sparkplug as lean or rich mixtures can generate the same final look
which can also be achieved with a hot or cold sparkplug.
See table:
An excessively warm sparkplug shows the
symptoms listed aside
ATTENTION:
Always use a warmer than standard spark
plug with cold or rainy climates.
?? Extremely clear color, porous lock and calcification of
the electrodes and of the internal insulation.
?? Irregularities in the ignition, preignition and
detonation with tendency to perforate the top of the
piston.
?? Note: Some of these symptoms can be achieved
with lean mixtures.
A correct thermal degree shows: ?? Colour of the insulator end from yellow grey to dark
brown for mixtures respectively lean or rich.
