The battery
is
housed in the left-hand side of the
box under the saddle and the level of the acid solution
should
be
inspected at least once a fortnight.
. The electrolyte (acid) must be
filled
only to the top of
the separators between the plates and this level must be
maintained by regular additions of pure distilled water.
All lead-acid batteries slowly discharge themselves
when standing, and if allowed to stand in a discharged
state
will
become sulphated and spoilt.
If
the machine
is
laid up for any length of time, therefore, the battery
should
be
removed, charged fully and given a refresher
charge every two or three weeks.
Batteries used on rectifier sets lose their charge more
rapidly than others owing to a small leak through the
rectifier.
If
it
is
known that the machine
will
not be
run for several days, but the period
of
inactivity
is
insufficient to justify removal of the battery, it
is
a good
plan
to
disconnect the battery earth lead, thus preventing
leakage through the rectifier.

A double filament tail lamp bulb

36 Carburettor. The carburettor
is
correctly set at the
Works, and
is
unlikely to require attention beyond
occasional cleaning, and possibly resetting the slow
running adjustment.
This adjustment
is
made with a small milled-head
screw on the side
of
the carburettor. The adjustment
should
be
made when the engine
is
warm and should be
set
so
that the engine will
"tick-over"
evenly when the
throttle
is
nearly closed. A throttle stop
is
also provided
so that the throttle can be set to
be
slightly open when
the control
is
shut.
