BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
WARNING
Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas
and contain electrolyte which is made of
poisonous and highly caustic sulfuric acid.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes).
DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:
EXTERNAL
Skin — Wash with water.
Eyes — Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
INTERNAL
Drink large quantities of water or milk fol-
lowed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.
CAUTION:
Charging time, charging amperage and
charging voltage for an MF battery are dif-
ferent from those of conventional batteries.
The MF battery should be charged as
explained in the charging method illustra-
tions. If the battery is overcharged, the
electrolyte level will drop considerably.
Therefore, take special care when charging
the battery.

BATTERY INSPECTION AND CHARGING
5. Charge:
Battery
(refer to the appropriate charging
method illustration)
WARNING
Do not quick charge a battery.
CAUTION:
Never remove the MF battery sealing
caps.
Do not use a high-rate battery charger
since it forces a high-amperage current
into the battery quickly and can cause
battery overheating and battery plate
damage.
If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
When charging a battery, be sure to
remove it from the machine. (If charging
has to be done with the battery mounted
on the machine, disconnect the negative
battery lead from the battery terminal.)
To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the bat-
tery charger leads are connected to the
battery.
Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure
to turn off the battery charger.
Make sure the battery charger lead clips
are in full contact with the battery termi-
nal and that they are not shorted. A cor-
roded battery charger lead clip may
generate heat in the contact area and a
weak clip spring may cause sparks.
If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process,
disconnect the battery charger and let the
battery cool before reconnecting it. Hot
batteries can explode!
As shown in the following illustration, the
open-circuit voltage of an MF battery sta-
bilizes about 30 minutes after charging
has been completed. Therefore, wait 30
minutes after charging is completed
before measuring the open-circuit volt-
age.

FUSE INSPECTION
3. Replace:
Blown fuse
WARNING
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating
other than that specified. Improvising or
using a fuse with the wrong amperage rat-
ing may cause extensive damage to the
electrical system, cause the starting and
ignition systems to malfunction and could
possibly cause a fire.
4. Install:
Rear fender
Seat Replacement steps:
Set the main switch to “OFF”.
Install a new fuse of the correct amperage.
Set on the switches to verify if the electri-
cal circuit is operational.
If the fuse immediately blows again, check
the electrical circuit.
