Removing The Rear Wheel; Battery; Battery Charge - SWM VAREZ 125 Manual - Uso - Mantenimiento

REMOVING THE REAR WHEEL

Unscrew the nut (1) of the wheel pin and extract it.
It is not necessary to loosen the chain tensioners; in
this way, the chain tension will remain unchanged
after reassembly. Extract the complete wheel, paying
attention to the spacers located at the hub sides.
To reassemble, reverse the above procedure
remembering to insert the brake disc into the calliper.
(Tightening torque of nut (1) 120 Nm=12kgm=90ft lb).
Note:
Do not operate the rear brake pedal when the wheel
has been removed; this causes the calliper pistons
to move forwards.
After removal, lay down the wheel with brake disc
facing up.
After reassembling the wheel, depress the brake pedal
until the pads are against the disc.

BATTERY

The sealed battery does not require any maintenance.
If electrolyte leaks, or other failure of the electrical
system, are detected, contact the SWM Dealer.
If the vehicle remains unused for long periods, it is
recommended to disconnect the battery from the
electrical system and store it in a dry place.
After an intensive use of the battery, it is advisable
-
to carry out a standard slow charging cycle (12V-9Ah
battery: 0.9A for 10 hours).
Quick charging is advised only in situations of
-
extreme need since the life of lead elements is
drastically reduced by such cycle (12V-9Ah battery:
9A for 0.5 hours).

BATTERY CHARGE

To gain access to the battery, proceed as follows:
remove the seat by loosening the retaining screw (1)
-
to access the battery compartment;
first remove the BLACK negative cable (2) and then
-
the RED positive cable (3) (when refitting, first
connect the RED positive cable and then the BLACK
negative cable) by unscrewing the relevant retaining
nuts;
pull the tab (4), remove the battery retaining elastic
-
band and remove the battery from its seat.
Check, using a voltmeter, that battery voltage is not
less than 12.5 V.
If this is not the case, the battery needs to be charged.
