continually improve its products and the relative documentation. The main technical modifications and
changes in repair procedures are communicated to all Moto Guzzi Sales Outlets and its International

updates and technical changes related to the vehicle.

CAUTION
TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED BEFORE USE.
INADEQUATE CHARGING OF THE BATTERY WITH A LOW LEVEL OF ELECTROLYTE BEFORE
IT IS FIRST USED SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY.
CAUTION
WHEN INSTALLING THE BATTERY, ATTACH THE POSITIVE LEAD FIRST AND THEN THE NEG-
ATIVE ONE, AND PERFORM THE REVERSE OPERATION DURING REMOVAL.
CAUTION
THE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE IS TOXIC, CORROSIVE AND, AS IT CONTAINS SULPHURIC
ACID, MAY CAUSE BURNING IF IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE SKIN. WHEN HANDLING
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE, WEAR TIGHT-FITTING GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE APPAREL. IN
THE EVENT OF SKIN CONTACT WITH THE ELECTROLYTIC FLUID, RINSE WELL WITH PLENTY
OF CLEAN WATER. IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR EYES BECAUSE
EVEN TINY AMOUNTS OF BATTERY ACID MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS. IN THE EVENT OF CON-
TACT WITH THE EYES, RINSE WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES AND CON-
SULT AN EYE SPECIALIST IMMEDIATELY. THE BATTERY RELEASES EXPLOSIVE GASES;
KEEP IT AWAY FROM FLAMES, SPARKS, CIGARETTES OR ANY OTHER HEAT SOURCES. EN-
SURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHEN SERVICING OR RECHARGING THE BATTERY.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
BATTERY LIQUID IS CORROSIVE. DO NOT POUR OR SPILL ON PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN
PARTICULAR. ENSURE THAT THE ELECTROLYTIC ACID IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE BATTERY
BEING ACTIVATED.
CAUTION
NEVER USE FUSES WITH A CAPACITY HIGHER THAN THAT RECOMMENDED. THE USE OF A
FUSE OF UNSUITABLE CAPACITY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGES TO THE WHOLE VE-
HICLE OR EVEN CAUSE A FIRE.

•Check that air bubbles come out of the
cells; let the liquid flow into the cells for
at least 20 minutes.
•If no air bubbles escape and the liquid
does not flow, tap lightly on the bottom
of the container until the liquid begins
to flow into the cells. Never remove the
container from the battery, pierce it or
cut it to facilitate the exit of the liquid.
•Make sure the liquid container is com-
pletely empty before removing it.
•Allow the battery to stand for at least 1
hour,before starting the charging proc-
ess, without closing the six cells. This
