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.
To check the electrolyte level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.TIPMake sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the electro-
lyte level.2. Remove panel A. (See page 6-7.)
3. Check the electrolyte level in the
battery.
TIPThe electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4. If the electrolyte is at or below the
minimum level mark, add distilled
water to raise it to the maximum
level mark. NOTICE: Use only
distilled water, as tap water con-
tains minerals that are harmful
to the battery.
[ECA10611]
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-
