CHARGING SYSTEM
BATTERY
The battery is an important component of the electrical system. This battery used on the vehicle is a mainte-
nance-free battery. For long period of storage, the battery will discharge by itself, so it should be charged every
3 months. After 2 to 3 years of regular use, the capacity of the battery will diminish so it will need charging.
Should the battery need to be replaced, use the same type of battery.
BATTERY DRAIN TESTING
• Turn the main switch to the “OFF” position.
• Disconnect the negative ground wire from the battery.
• Connect the positive end of the meter with the negative end of the battery.
• Connect the negative end of the meter with the ground wire.
• Test the electric drain. In general, the number should be less than 1 mA. Inspect for a short circuit of the igni-
tion switch and the main wiring harness.
CHARGING STATUS INSPECTION
• Install a fully charged battery.
• Connect the voltmeter to the battery.
• Remove the fuse, and connect the meter with two ends of the fuse.
• Connect the tachometer with the engine (not necessary if rpm indicator is on vehicle).
• Start the engine and accelerate slowly; measure the charging voltage and current.
Charging voltage (V) 13.5 ~ 15.5
@ 5000 RPM
Charging current (A) 0.5
@ 5000 RPM
If the voltage is not in the range of the above specifi ed value, please inspect the voltage regulator.
BATTERY REMOVAL
•
Disconnect the negative battery lead wire fi rst.
•
Disconnect the positive battery second.
