Use of a new battery
Ensure that the terminals are connected correctly and check the voltage.
CAUTION
DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY: RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT AND DAMAGE

Checking the electrolyte level
The electrolyte level, which should be checked regularly, must always be at the max-
imum level. To top it up to this level, use only distilled water.
Should it become necessary to top up the battery with water too frequently, check the
scooter's electrical system because the battery is being overloaded, causing it to lose
power quickly.
Long periods of inactivity
Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the
result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging plus residual absorption by
vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may
also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanness of the poles. In order to
avoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, follow any of these
steps:
