INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF BATTERY
This scooter is equipped with a maintenance-free type battery, so it is unnecessary to check or
electrolyte. Have your scooter checked by SYM Authorized Dealer or Franchised Dealer should any
abnormality be found.
Remove the battery terminals and clean if there is dirt or corrosion on them.
NOTICE:
Battery removal procedures are as follows:
First turn ignition switch “OFF,” then remove the negative cable screw and disconnect the negative
cable, then remove the positive cable screw and positive cable and remove battery.
To install the battery, reverse the procedures of the removal of the battery.
CAUTION:
Keep the scooter’s battery clean. If the battery’s posts are corroded and/or are covered with white
powder clean them with warm water.
If there is obvious corrosion on the battery terminals, disconnect the battery cables and remove the
corrosion with a steel brush.
If the battery needs to be replaced, replace with a same closed-type battery (Maintenance-Free).
CAUTION:
This scooter uses a sealed type (Maintenance-Free) battery; never remove the battery caps.
In order to prevent electrical leakage and self-discharge when the battery sits idle for long periods of
time, remove the battery from scooter and store it in a well-ventilated and dimly lighted area. Store
battery out of reach of children. If the battery is to be kept on the scooter, disconnect the battery’s
negative cable.
Replace the battery cables after cleaning and apply a thin coat of grease to the battery terminals
when reconnecting the same.
Do not disconnect the battery cables from the battery when the engine is running to prevent any
electronic parts from being damaged.
