SERVICE STATION MANUAL
V85 TT
This manual provides the main information to carry out regular maintenance operations on your vehicle.
This manual is intended to Moto Guzzi Dealers and their qualified mechanics; several concepts have
been deliberately omitted as they are considered unnecessary. As it is not possible to include complete
mechanical notions in this manual, users should have basic mechanical knowledge or minimum
knowledge about the procedures involved when repairing scooters. Without this knowledge, repairing or
checking the vehicle may be inefficient or even dangerous. As the vehicle repair and check procedures
are not described in detail, be extremely cautious so as not to damage components or injure individuals.
In order to optimise customer satisfaction when using our vehicles, Piaggio & C. s.p.a. commits itself to
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
Subsidiaries. These changes will be introduced in the subsequent editions of the manual. In case of
need or further queries on repair and check procedures, consult Moto Guzzi CUSTOMER
DEPARTMENT, which will be prepared to provide any information on the subject and any further
communications on updates and technical changes related to the vehicle.
NOTE Provides key information to make the procedure easier to understand and carry out.
CAUTION Refers to specific procedures to carry out for preventing damages to the vehicle.
WARNING Refers to specific procedures to carry out to prevent injuries to the repairer.
Personal safety Failure to completely observe these instructions will result in serious risk of personal
injury.
Safeguarding the environment Sectionsmarked withthis symbol indicate the correctuse of the vehicle
to prevent damaging the environment.
Vehicle intactness The incomplete or non-observance of these regulations leads to the risk of serious
damage to the vehicle and sometimes even the invalidity of the guarantee

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.
TRADITIONAL BATTERY ACTIVATION PRO-
CEDURE
•Place the battery on a flat surface.
•Remove the cell's protective sticker.
•Take the acid container.
•Remove the cap 1 of the container 2.
•Place the container upside down, per-
pendicularly above the battery, align-
ing the outlets with the battery cells.
Pre-delivery V85 TT
PRE DE - 8

•Apply pressure to the container to
break the seals. The liquid will begin to
flow into the cells.
•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
operation is extremely important in or-
der to have the best battery perform-
ance over time.
•Recharge the battery following the
specifications indicated on the battery
(see photo ) and using a suitable bat-
tery charger.
NOTE
IN THE SHOWN EXAMPLE IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A
BATTERYCHARGERWITH1.2 AMPERE(CHARGING TIME
5-10 HOURS) OR 5 AMPERE (CHARGING TIME 1 HOUR).
