1. Disconnect:
• Negative lead (1)
• Positive lead (2)
• Breather hose (§)
2. Remove the battery
3. Check the fluid level. It should be between upper (1) and lower (2) level marks.
CAUTION:
Refill with distilled water only; tap water contains minerals harmful to a battery.
4. Inspect the breather hose (1) for obstructions. Clear or replace as necessary.
5. Connect the breather hose (1). Be sure the hose is properly attached and routed.
HOW TO ROUTE BATTERY BREATHER HOSE.
CAUTION;
Always charge a new battery before using it to ensure maximum performance.
Charging Current: 1.4 amps/10 hrs
Specific Gravity:
1.280 at 20°C(68°F)
WARNING: Battery electrolyte is dangerous; it contains sulfuric acid and therefore is poisonous and highly caustic. Always follow these preventive measures:
• Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it can cause severe burns or permanent eye injury.
• Wear protective eye gear when handling or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
• SKIN - Flush with water.
• EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
• Drink large quantities of water or milk follow with milk of magnesia) beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical attention.
Batteries also generate explosive hydrogen gas, therefore, you should always follow these preventive measures:
• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep batteries away from fire, sparks, or open flames (e.g., welding equipment, lighted cigarettes, etc.)
• DO NOT SMOKE when charging or handling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Headlight Bulb Replacement
1. Remove securing screws (1) from light unit assembly/headlight body.
2. Disconnect the headlight lens unit leads
3. Remove the light unit assembly
4. Rotate the bulb holder (1) counterclockwise.
5. Remove the defective bulb
6. Install new bulb and secure with bulb holder.
CAUTION:
• Avoid touching glass part of bulb.
• Keep the bulb free from oil otherwise, transparency of glass, bulb life, and luminous flux will be adversely affected.
• If oil gets on bulb, clean it with a cloth moistened thoroughly with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
WARNING:
Do not touch the headlight bulb when it is on, as the bulb generates enormous heat; keep flammable objects away.
7. Install the light unit assembly to headlight body.

FUSE
The fuse box is under the indicator light panel. The main fuse is under the seat.
(1) Main fuse
(2) Spare fuses
(3) Other fuse block
Blown fuse procedure steps:
• Turn off ignition and the circuit.
• Install a new fuse of proper amperage.
• Turn on switches to verify operation of electrical device.
• If fuse blows immediately again, check circuit in question.
WARNING:
Do not use fuses of higher amperage rating than recommended. Extensive electrical system damage and fire could result from substitution of a fuse of improper amperage.
