Battery Charger - SWM Superdual E4 2017 Manual - Uso - Mantenimiento

BATTERY
The sealed battery does not require any mainte-
nance. When electrolyte leaks, or other failure of
the electrical system is detected, apply to the SWM
Dealer.
If the vehicle remains unused for long periods, it is
recommended to disconnect the battery from the
electrical system and store it in a dry place.
- After an intensive use of the battery, it is advis-
able to carry out a standard slow charging cycle
(12V-14Ah battery: 1.4A for 10 hours).
- Quick charging is advised only in situations of ex-
treme necessity since the life of lead elements is
drastically reduced by such cycle (12V-14Ah bat-
tery: 2.5A for 2 hours).

BATTERY CHARGER

To gain access to the battery (2):
- Insert the key in latch (1) then turn clockwise to
release the saddle lock; remove the saddle.
- Release the elastic strap (3) holding the battery;
- first remove the BLACK or BLUE negative cable,
EN - 54
then the RED positive cable (when reassembling,
first connect the RED positive cable, then the
BLACK or BLUE negative cable);
- remove the battery (2) from its housing.
Check, using a voltmeter, that battery voltage is not
less than 12.5 V.
If it is not so, the battery needs to be charged.
Using a battery charger with a constant voltage,
first connect the RED positive cable to the battery
positive terminal then the BLACK or BLUE negative
cable to the battery negative terminal.
The voltage reaches a constant value only after a
few hours, therefore it is suggested NOT to meas-
ure it immediately after having charged or dis-
charged the battery.
Always check the battery charge before reinstalling
it on the vehicle.
The battery should be kept clean and the terminals
coated with grease.

WARNING*: The battery contains sulphuric
acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
In the event of contact with the eyes or skin,
rinse with running water and seek medical aid
immediately.
WARNING*: If the battery is left unused, it has
to be in any case recharged with slow cycle
(12V-14Ah battery: 1.4A for 10 hours) at least
every 3 weeks.
WARNING*: Batteries produce explosive gas,
ventilate when charging or using indoors.
When using a battery charger, always connect
the battery before turning on the charger. This
procedure prevents sparks at the battery ter-
minals which could ignite any battery gases.
