EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.
EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
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 OFCHILDREN.
5. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.6. Install the panel.
To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove the
battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTICE: When removing the
battery, be sure the key is
turned to “OFF”, then discon-
nect the negative lead before
disconnecting the positive lead.
[ECA16302]
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. NOTICE: If the
breather hose is positioned in
such a way that the frame is ex-
posed to electrolyte or gas ex-pelled from the battery, the
frame could suffer structural
and external damages.
