3.5Recharging the battery
Warning
Risk of injury Battery acid and battery gases cause serious cauterization.
–Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
–Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles.
–Avoid contact with battery acid and battery gases.
–Keep the battery away from sparks or open fire. Charge only in well ventilated rooms.
–In the event of skin contact, rinse with large amounts of water. If battery acid gets in the eyes, rinse with water for at least
15 minutes and contact a doctor.
Warning
Environmental hazard Components and battery acid are a danger to the environment.
–Do not dispose of batteries in normal household waste. Take defective or used batteries to a battery recycling operator.
Warning
Environmental hazard Problem materials cause environmental damage.
–Dispose of oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning substances, brake fluid, batteries, etc. according to regulations.
Info
Even if there is no load on the battery, it loses power every day.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Fast recharging with a high charge current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charge current, the charge voltage and the charge time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the breathing holes.
The battery capacity is then reduced.
If the battery is discharged from starting, it must be recharged immediately.
If it stands for a long time in a discharged state, the battery becomes over-discharged and sulfated, and then it is destroyed.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.
–Switch off all power-consuming components and switch off the engine.
–Reinstall the fuel tank. ( S. 5)
–Disconnect the minus (negative) cable of the battery to avoid damage to the motor-
cycle's electronics.

You can also use the battery charger to test rest potential and start potential of the
battery, and to test the generator. With this device, you cannot overcharge the bat-
tery.
Info
Never remove the lid.
Charge the battery according to the instructionson the battery casing.
–Switch off the charger after charging. Disconnect the battery.
Guideline

Danger
Fire hazard Fuel can easily catch fire.
–Never fill up the vehicle near open flames or burning cigarettes, and always switch off the engine first. Be careful that no
fuel is spilt, especially on hot vehicle components. Clean up spilt fuel immediately.
–Fuel in the fuel tank expands when warm and can escape if the tank is overfilled. See specifications on filling up with fuel.
Warning
Danger of poisoning Fuel is poisonous and a health hazard.
–Avoid contact between fuel and skin, eyes and clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors. If fuel gets into your eyes, rinse imme-
diately with water and contact a doctor. Wash affected skin areas immediately with soap and water. If fuel is swallowed,
contact a doctor immediately. Change clothing that has come into contact with fuel.
Warning
Environmental hazard Improper handling of fuel is a danger to the environment.
–Do not allow fuel to get into the ground water, the ground, or the sewage system.
