BATERÍA Y FUSIBLE
1.- Battery
The battery is located underneath the footrest and you can reach it by
loosening the screw that holds the battery compartment cover.
The battery terminal status should be checked, together with the fixation
of the terminals themselves. If any rusting is observed on the battery ter-
minals or on the ends of the terminals, this should be cleaned off with a
metal bristle brush, sandpaper or similar. Once the cleaning operation
has been completed, the terminals should be connected again and gre-
ase applied to the battery terminals and ends.
Correct connection must be verified; otherwise the battery could be
damaged.
Special attention should be paid to battery handling, since it contains
sulphuric acid and you may run the risk of burning your skin, eyes and
even the clothing. It should also be kept away from flames, sparks and
even cigarettes.
When it is necessary to replace the battery, then the same battery type
should be fitted.
2.- Fuse
The fuse is alongside the battery. If the fuse blows, turn off the engine;
substitute it for another one of the same amperage.
Turn the ignition on again and check if the electrical system works.
Never use fuses of higher amperage than recommended because they
could damage or even burn the electrical system.
