ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
WARNING
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating
other than that specified. Improvising or
using a fuse with the wrong amperage rat-
ing may cause extensive damage to the
electrical system, cause the lighting and
ignition systems to malfunction and could
possibly cause a fire.

CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY
EWA13290
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of
poisonousand highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
• Wear protective eye gear when handling or
working near batteries.
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
• KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
• Skin — Wash with water.
• Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
• Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.

CAUTION:
• This is a sealed battery. Never remove the
sealing caps because the balance be-
tween cells will not be maintained and bat-
tery performance will deteriorate.
• Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batter-
ies. The MF battery should be charged as
explained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charg-
ing the battery.
NOTE:
Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possible
to check the charge state of the battery by
measuring the specific gravity of the elec-
trolyte.
Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be
checked by measuring the voltage at the bat-
tery terminals.
1. Remove:
• Seat
• Battery stay
2. Disconnect:
• Battery leads (from the battery terminals)
ECA13640
CAUTION:
First, disconnect the negative battery lead
“1”, and then positive battery lead “2”.
