4.  CHECKING AND ADJUSTING

 CAUTION

• To avoid accidental short circuit, be sure to attach the positive cable to the positive terminal before the

negative cable is attached to the negative terminal.

• Never remove the battery cap while the engine is running.
• Keep electrolyte away from eyes, hands and clothes. If you are spattered with it, wash it away completely

with water immediately.

• Keep open sparks and flames away from the battery at all times. Hydrogen gas mixed with oxygen

becomes very explosive.
IMPORTANT

• If the machine is to be operated for a short time without battery (using a slave battery for starting), use

additional current (lights) while engine is running and insulate terminal of battery. If this advice is
disregarded, damage to alternator and regulator may result.

[1] BATTERY

Battery Voltage

1. Stop the engine and turn the main switch off.

2. Connect  the  COM  (−)  lead  of  the  voltmeter  to  the  battery's

negative terminal post and the (+) lead to the positive terminal

post, and measure the battery voltage.

3. If the battery voltage is less than the factory specification, check

the battery specific gravity and recharge the battery (1).

Battery Terminal Connection

1. Turn the main switch on, and turn on the head light.

2. Measure the voltage across the battery's positive terminal post

and the cable terminal, the voltage across the battery's negative

terminal post and the chassis.

3. If the measurement exceeds the factory specification, clean the

battery  terminal  posts  and  cable  clamps,  and  tighten  them

firmly.

Battery Condition Indicator

1. Check the battery condition by reading the indicator (2).

IMPORTANT

• The factory installed battery is of non-refillable type. If the

indicator turns white, do not charge the battery but replace
it with new one.
