trolyte or to add distilled water. Howe-
ver, the battery lead connections
need to be checked and, if necessary,
tightened.

• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and
immediately call a physician.

hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed spa-
ce.
KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTE-
RIES 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 thatthe battery tends to discharge more
quickly if the vehicle is equipped with
optional electrical accessories.
ECA16520
To charge a VRLA (Valve Regulated
Lead Acid) battery, a special (cons-
tant-voltage) battery charger is
required. Using a conventional bat-
tery charger will damage the bat-
tery. If you do not have access to a
constant-voltage battery charger,
have a Yamaha dealer charge your
battery.
To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove
the battery, fully charge it, and
then place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTICE:When removing the
battery, be sure the key is tur-
ned to “OFF”, then disconnect
the negative lead before dis-
connecting the positive lead.
[ECA16302]
2. If the battery will be stored for
more than two months, check it
at least once a month and fully
charge it if necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before
installation.
4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly
connected to the battery termi-
nals.
ECA16530
Always keep the battery charged.
Storing a discharged battery can
cause permanent battery damage.
