EAI70001*Battery
Check the level of the battery electrolyte
and make sure that the terminals are tight.
Add distilled water if the electrolyte level is
low.NOTE:
The battery fluid should be checked at least
once a month.EUU33601cCWhen inspecting the battery, be sure the
breather pipe is routed correctly.

EUU65800wBattery electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous, causing severe burns, etc. It con-
tains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing.
Antidote:
EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water
or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call a physi-
cian immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention. Batteries
produce explosive gases. Keep sparks,
flame, cigarettes etc., away. Ventilate
when charging or using in an enclosed
space. Always shield your eyes when
working near batteries.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Replenishing the battery fluid
A poorly maintained battery will corrode
and discharge quickly. The battery fluid
should be checked at least once a month.
The level should be between the minimum
and maximum marks. Use only distilled
water if refilling is necessary.EUU33800cCNormal tap water contains minerals which
are harmful to a battery; therefore, refill
only with distilled water.EUU65901wTake care not to spill battery fluid on the
chain. Battery fluid may weaken the chain
causing shorter chain life and possibly re-
sult in an accident.

3. Remove the drive chain. Thoroughly
clean the chain with solvent and lubri-
cate it. Reinstall the chain or store it in
a plastic bag (tied to frame for safe-
keeping).
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from enter-
ing.
7. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmos-
phere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil
to any rubber parts or the seat cover.
8. Remove the battery and charge it.
Store it in a dry place and recharge it
once a month. Do not store the bat-
tery in an excessively warm or cold
place (less than 0°C (32°F) or more
than 30°C (86°)).
EUU05800NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before storing
the motorcycle.
