When using a constant-current
battery charger, use the follow-
ing Battery Charging Chart.
An overheated battery could
explode causing severe injury or
death. Always monitor charging
times and charge rates carefully.
Stop charging if the battery
becomes very warm to the touch.
Allow it to cool before resuming
charging.
The ATV comes equipped with a speci-
fied spark plug. See the specifications
chart for the correct spark plug. A light
brown insulator indicates that the plug
is correct. A white or dark insulator
indicates that the engine may need to
be serviced or the carburetor may need
to be adjusted. Consult an authorized
KYMCO ATV dealer if the plug insulator
is not a light brown color.
Never exceed the standard charg-
ing rate.
NOTE: If the battery voltage is
11.5 DC Volts or less, some charg-
ers may“cut off＂and fail to
charge. If this occurs, connect a
fully charged booster battery in
parallel (positive to positive and
negative to negative) for a short
period of time with the charger
connected. After 10-15 minutes,
disconnect the booster battery
leaving the charger connected and
the charger should continue to
charge. If the charger“cuts off,＂
replace the battery.
Connect the multimeter and test the
battery voltage. The meter should
read at least 12.5 DC Volts. If the
voltage is as specified, the battery
is ready for service.
Before installing the battery, make
sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.

then retest. Recheck electrolyte
level and the battery is ready for
service.
