8. Battery
The battery is an item which, if handled inappropriately, may cause a malfunction of the electrical components
of the vehicle or an engine trouble or a fire. Strictly observe the instructions on the battery and battery cable.
[1] Wiring precautions
① In order to prevent damage from water or other objects, protect the battery appropriately.
② The battery cable, whether in or out of position, should not be in contact with a sharp edge of other portions.
③ Clip the battery cable at intervals of less than 450 mm.
(Always use a clip lined with rubber.)
Be sure that the clip is not freely movable.
·
Keep the clips away from other portions.
·
④ Don't bend the battery cable to a radius smaller than ten times the cable diameter.
⑤ If the terminal is moved under the mounting tension of
the battery cable, the terminal would become loose or
normal engine start would become impossible, often
leading to a battery failure. Always securely fix the
battery cable on the battery tray.
⑥ Set the route of the battery cable downward so that no
leverage action is exerted to loosen the connector.
[2] Change of battery mounting position
① Install the battery at a position where the air flow is sufficient to release into the atmosphere the gas
generated during the temperature increase or the charging operation.
② Keep the battery away from a heat source by 200 mm minimum. When this distance is not sufficient, protect
the battery from heat using a heat insulating plate or the like.
③ Determine the battery position using the existing battery cable.
