Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed
space.
●
Take care not to spill electrolyte
on the drive chain, as this may
weaken it, shorten chain life and
possibly result in an accident.
●
KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTER-
IES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
CAUTION:
ECA10610
Use only distilled water, as tap water
contains minerals that are harmful
to the battery.
4. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.
To store the battery
1.
If the motorcycle will not be used
for more than one month, remove
the battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
2.
If the battery will be stored for more
than two months, check the specif-
ic gravity of the electrolyte at least
once a month and fully charge the
battery whenever necessary.
3.
Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation.
4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals and
that the breather hose is properly
routed, in good condition, and not
obstructed.
CAUTION:
