SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
• // the engine must be running to do some work, make sure the area is well-ventilated. Never run the engine in an enclosed area.
The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can cause lass of consciousness and may lead to death.
• The battery gives off explosive gases; keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away. Provide adequate ventilation when charging.
• The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with skin or eyes may cause severe burns.
— If electrolyte gets on your skin, flush with water.
— If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush mth water for at least J5 minutes and call a physician.
• Electrolyte is poisonous.
— If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk and follow with milk magnessia or vegetable oil and call a physician.
CAUTION
• For battery charging, do not exceed the charging current and time specified on the battery (and shown below). Use of excessive
current or charging time may damage the battery.
• Quick charge a battery only in an emergency. Slow-charging is preferred.
• Remove the battery from the frame for charging. If the battery must be charged in the frame, disconnect the battery cables.
• The battery on this motorcycle is a permanently sealed type. Never remove the filler hole caps even when the battery is
being charged.
• Be sure to charge the battery with the amount of current and for the time indicated on the battery label and as given below.
Charging with excessive current and/or too fast may cause battery failure.
Battery charging
NOTE
• Refer to the instruction in the Operation Manual for the Honda Battery Tester and Christie Battery Charger for detailed battery charging steps.
After activation, both conventional and maintenance-free batteries must be charged at the appropriate ampere-hour rating for
the proper length of time.
Set the Battery Amp. Hr. Selector Switch on the Christie Charger (#MC 1012/2) for the size of the battery being charged. Set
the Timer to the NEW ВАТТ position and connect the battery clamps. When the timef reaches the "trickle" position, the
charging cycle is complete.
After charging, test the condition of the new battery using the Honda Battery Tester (07GMJ —0010000) — refer to the Operation Manual for complete details.
Battery Charging/Testing equipment
The Christie Battery Charger (#MC 1012/2) is a constant current (amperage) type designed to produce current at a constant
rate for the duration of the charge, even if the voltage varies.
The Honda Battery Tester {07GMJ—0010000} puts a "load" on the battery so that the actual battery condition at the time of
the load can be measured. This provides an accurate determination of the battery condition — good Igreen), fair (yellow), or
poor (red).
