•
If
it
is impossible
to
set
the
standard
charging current, be careful
not
to
over~
charge.
• When charging
the
battery, be sure
to
remove
it
from
the
motorcycle.
(If
charg-
ing has
to
be done
with
the
battery
mounted
on
the
motorcycle, be sure
to
disconnect
the
wire
at
the
negative
termi~
nal.)
• Never remove
the
sealing caps
of
an MF
battery.
• Make sure
that
the
charging clips are
in
full
contact
with
the
terminal
and
that
they
are
not
shorted together. (A cor-
roded clip on
the
charger
may
cause
the
battery
to
generate heat
in
the
contact
area. A
weak
clip spring
may
cause
sparks.)
• Before removing
the
clips
from
the
bat-
tery
terminals, be sure
to
turn
off
the
charger's
power
switch.
• The
open~circuit
voltage variation
for
the
MF battery, after charging,
is
shown
below. As
shown
in
the
figure,
the
open-
circuit voltage stabilizes
about
30
min-
utes after charging has been completed.
Therefore,
wait
30
minutes
after
charging
is
completed before measuring
the
open-
circuit voltage.
