BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
ÅRelationship between the open-circuit voltage
and the charging time at 20 ˚C (68 ˚F)

condition of the battery plates, and the electro-
lyte level.)

5. Charge:
Battery
(refer to the appropriate charging
method illustration)
WARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
CAUTION:
Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.
Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause
battery overheating and battery plate
damage.
If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the machine. (If charging
has to be done with the battery mounted
on the machine, disconnect the negative
battery lead from the battery terminal.)
To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the bat-
tery charger leads are connected to the
battery.
Check the charge of the battery, as shown
in the charts and the following example.
Example
Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V
Charging time = 6.5 hours
Charge of the battery = 20 ~ 30% Å

BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure
to turn off the battery charger.
Make sure the battery charger lead clips
are in full contact with the battery termi-
nal and that they are not shorted. A cor-
roded battery charger lead clip may
generate heat in the contact area and a
weak clip spring may cause sparks.
If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process,
disconnect the battery charger and let the
battery cool before reconnecting it. Hot
batteries can explode!
As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of an MF battery sta-
bilizes about 30 minutes after charging
has been completed. Therefore, wait
30 minutes after charging is completed
before measuring the open-circuit volt-
age.

CAUTION:
To avoid a short circuit, always set the
main switch to “OFF” when checking or
replacing a fuse.
1. Remove:
Seat
Fuse cover
2. Check:
Continuity
2Reserve fuse
Recommended lubricant
Lithium soap base grease
Checking steps:
Remove the fuse 1.
Connect the pocket tester to the fuse and
check the continuity.
NOTE:
Set the pocket tester selector to “Ω × 1”.
Pocket tester
YU-3112-C/90890-03112
If the pocket tester indicates “∞”, replace
the fuse.
