cC
Never attempt to remove the bat-
tery cell seals, as this would per-
manently damage the battery.
8Batteries produce explosive
hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes,
etc., away from the battery and
provide sufficient ventilation
when charging it in an
enclosed space.
8KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTER-
IES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the
battery as soon as possible if it
seems to have discharged. Keep in
mind that the battery tends to dis-
charge more quickly if the motorcycle
is equipped with optional electrical
accessories.
