2.1Work rules
Special tools are necessary for certain tasks. The tools are not contained in the vehicle but can be ordered under the number in parentheses. E.g.: bearing puller (15112017000)
During assembly, non-reusable parts (e.g. self-locking screws and nuts, seals and seal rings, O-rings, pins, lock washers) must be
replaced by new parts.
In some instances, a thread locker (e.g. Loctite®) is required. The manufacturer instructions for use must be followed.
After disassembly, clean the parts that are to be reused and check them for damage and wear. Change damaged or worn parts.
After you complete the repair or service work, check the operating safety of the vehicle.
2.2Safety advice
A number of safety instructions need to be followed to operate the vehicle safely. Therefore, read this manual carefully. The safety
instructions are highlighted in the text and are referred to at the relevant passages.

4.7Recharging the battery
Warning
Risk of injury Battery acid and battery gases cause serious chemical burns.
–Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
–Wear suitable protective clothing and goggles.
–Avoid contact with battery acid and battery gases.
–Keep the battery away from sparks or open flames. Charge only in well-ventilated areas.
–In the event of skin contact, rinse with large amounts of water. If battery acid gets in the eyes, rinse with water for at least
15 minutes and contact a physician.
Warning
Environmental hazard The battery contains elements that are harmful to the environment.
–Do not discard batteries with the household trash. Dispose of a defective battery in an environmentally compatible manner.
Give the battery to your KTM dealer or to a recycling center that accepts used batteries.
Warning
Environmental hazard Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.
Info
Even when there is no load on the battery, it discharges steadily.
The charge state and the type of charge are very important for the service life of the battery.
Rapid recharging with a high charging current shortens the battery's service life.
If the charging current, charging voltage, and charging time are exceeded, electrolyte escapes through the safety valves. This
reduces the battery capacity.
If the battery is depleted from starting the vehicle repeatedly, the battery must be charged immediately.
If the battery is left in a discharged state for an extended period, it will become over-discharged and sulfate, destroying the
battery.
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the acid level does not have to be checked.
Preliminary work
–Remove the battery.
Main work
–Connect the battery charger to the battery. Switch on the battery charger.
Battery charger (58429074000)
You can also use the battery charger to test the rest potential and starting ability of
the battery, and to test the alternator. With this device, you cannot overcharge the
battery.
