
If the vehicle is damaged due to
overturning or accident, do not
plug in the charging plug to the
outlet. Otherwise it could cause
an electric shock or short cir-
cuit. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the charging plug before
charging the battery.

Charge the vehicle where no
rain can get to it, as this could
cause an electric shock or short
circuit.

Be sure to plug in the charging
plug to a grounded electrical
outlet with residual-current de-
vice (RCD) protection for charg-
ing the battery. If grounded
incorrectly, this could cause an
electric shock or short circuit.

Do not remove the plastic cover
under the seat to check the bat-
tery or built-in battery charger
as this increases the risk of an
electric shock or short circuit. If
any problem is found, have aYamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

WARNING
EWA15872
Charging the battery incorrectly can
cause electric shock or fire. Serious
injury or death can occur if you ig-
nore any of the following:
Read all instructions and labels
before charging the battery.

Choose a dry location with a
flat, stable surface that is pro-
tected from rain or water spray.
The area must have good venti-
lation and be free of flammable
objects or sources of heat.

Be sure the vehicle, charging
cord, and charging plug will not
be disturbed by children or oth-
er bystanders, or animals.

Connect the charging plug only
directly to a grounded electrical
outlet with residual-current de-
vice (RCD) protection. Do not
use an ungrounded extension
cord or multi-outlet plug with
the charging cord.

If your vehicle has been dam-

NOTICE
ECA17451
Improper charging can damage the
battery and built-in battery charger.
Do not charge in a place ex- posed to direct sunlight or near
a heater.

Do not charge when there is risk
of thunderstorms or lightning.
Electrical surges could cause
damage.

Do not use the AC outlet of a car
or generator for charging the
battery as this could cause amalfunction.
Park the vehicle on a flat, stable sur-
face near a grounded electrical outlet
with residual-current device (RCD) pro-
tection. The area must be dry and, if
necessary, sheltered to prevent rain
water or other moisture from wetting
the vehicle, charging cord, or outlet.
The environment affects the duration of
battery charging. For optimum charg-
ing, charge the battery out of direct sun-
light in an ambient temperature of 15 C
– 25 C.
TIPAlthough charging between 15 C – 25
 C provides the best results, the battery
can be charged within an ambient tem-
perature range of –5 C – 50 C. A de-
pleted battery cannot be charged if
ambient temperature is below 0 C.
Examples of recommended charg-
ing locations
A cool, shaded and well-ventilated
place.
A place that does not fall below –5 C
overnight.

medical device, be sure to con-
sult with your doctor or the manufacturer to check whether
being near the battery charger
could affect the device.WARNING
