–Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
–Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles.
–Avoid contact with battery acid and battery gases.
–Keep sparks and open flames away from the battery. Only charge in well-ventilated rooms.

Warning
Environmental hazard The battery contains elements that are harmful to the environment.
–Do not discard batteries with the household waste. Dispose of faulty batteries in an environmentally compatible manner.
Give the battery to your authorized KTM dealer or dispose of it at a collection point for used batteries.
Warning
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.
Info
Even when there is no load on the battery, it still loses power steadily.
The charging level and the method of charging are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, which means that the acid level does not need to be checked.
Preparatory work
–Switch off all power consumers and switch off the engine.
–Remove the seat. ( p. 6)
–Remove the battery. ( p. 6)
