For the sake of safety, before starting
the vehicle, carry out a thorough preliminary
check. See the PRELIMINARY CHECK LIST IN
THE VEHICLE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
HANDBOOK.
Failure to carry out these checks may lead to
serious injury or damage to the vehicle.
Very little time is required, and the benefits
in terms of safety are enormous.
The components in this handbook are supplied
disassembled, and have to be fitted to the motor
cycle. These instruction sheets for dealers describe
the correct fitting procedures.
Read the instructions in the sheets to avoid
breakages or incorrect assembly.
Remove the bag containing the mirrors and other
loose parts (i.e. not fitted to the motor cycle body)
from the crate.
After removing the nailed-on supports and
crosspieces from the crate (used for transport
purposes), push the motor cycle off the bottom of
the crate and position it on the stand.
You can now proceed with the operations
described below.

BATTERY
DANGER
Battery electrolyte is toxic, caustic and the
contact with the skin may cause serious
burns, since it contains sulfuric acid. Wear
protective clothing, a face shield and/or tight
fitting goggles when working around the
battery. In case of contact with the skin, flush
immediately with plenty of water.
In case of contact with the eyes, flush with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Immediately consult an optician.
If the electrolyte is accidentally swallowed,
drink large quantities of water or milk, and
then milk of magnesia or vegetable oil.
Immediately consult a health professional.
The battery gives off noxious and explosive
gases; keep it away from cigarettes, flames,
sparks and any other source of heat. During
the recharging or the use, make sure that
the room is properly ventilated and avoid
inhaling the gases released during the
recharging. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Do
not tip the vehicle too much, or tip the battery
too much, to avoid electrolyte leaking out.
CAUTION
The battery liquid is corrosive. Do not pour or
sprinkle it, particularly on plastic parts. When
the battery has been removed it must be
placed in a safe place out of the reach of
children. The battery is very dangerous and
may cause serious injury or death.
