Charging the Battery

WARNING
Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the
gases coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the
battery well during charging.
A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may
be the result of a defect in the charging system or other
electrical component. If there is any doubt about the cause
of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the
battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the Battery and
Cables.
To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by
the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings
included in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge
the battery until fully charged. Do not charge at a rate higher
than 10 amps.

Seat Adjustment

The seat can also be adjusted forward and back. Move
the lever (A, Figure 10), position the seat as desired, and
