CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY EB305020 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY WARNING Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas and contain electrolyte which is made of poi- sonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid. Therefore, always follow these preventive measures: D Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.
Page 100
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY NOTE: Since MF batteries are sealed, it is not possible to check the charge state of the battery by mea- suring the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Therefore, the charge of the battery has to be checked by measuring the voltage at the battery terminals.
Page 101
CHECKING AND CHARGING THE BATTERY WARNING Ambient temperature 20_C Do not quick charge a battery. CAUTION: D Make sure that the battery breather hose and battery vent are free of obstructions. D Never remove the MF battery sealing caps. Condition of charge in battery (%) D Do not use a high-rate battery charger.

Page 106
CHECKING THE FUSES/ REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULB WARNING Never use a fuse with an amperage rating other than that specified. Improvising or us- ing a fuse with the wrong amperage rating may cause extensive damage to the electri- cal system, cause the lighting and ignition systems to malfunction and could possibly cause a fire.
Page 107
REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULB/ ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM CAUTION: Avoid touching the glass part of the head- light bulb to keep it free from oil, otherwise the transparency of the glass, the life of the bulb and the luminous flux will be adversely affected.
