Long periods of inactivity

If the vehicle has not been used for long periods, it is necessary to periodically re-
charge the battery, bearing in mind that the battery tends to go completely flat within
around three months. The battery must be recharged with a current load equal to 1/10
of the battery rated capacity (~ 1A ), for a period not longer than 8 hours. For this
operation contact an Authorised Service Centre. When refitting a removed battery,
make sure that all terminals are properly connected.

Fuses (03_16, 03_17, 03_18)

The electrical system has twelve fuses divided in two fuse boxes to protect the different
installation circuits. One of them is inside the battery compartment and the other is at
the right internal side of the footrest. To be able to reach, loosen the screw "A" and
remove the plastic cover. The chart shows the position and characteristics of the fuses
in the vehicle.

CAUTION

BEFORE REPLACING THE BLOWN FUSE, FIND AND SOLVE THE FAILURE
THAT CAUSED IT TO BLOW. NEVER TRY TO REPLACE THE FUSE WITH ANY
OTHER MATERIAL (E.G., A PIECE OF ELECTRIC WIRE).
