6.12 Battery
The battery is of the maintenance-free type and is installed under the saddles, between the driver saddle and the passenger
saddle.This battery does not require checking of the fluid level or adding of distilled water. If the battery seems to be run-down
(causing electrical problems or a difficult starting), have it recharged by an authorized Benelli Q.J. dealer as soon as possible.
Remember that the battery runs down more quickly if your motorcycle is equipped with additive electrical accessories. Always
have the battery replaced by a Benelli Q.J. authorized service center.
WARNING
If the battery casing is damaged, there may be a leakage of sulphuric acid, a highly toxic and corrosive
substance. Avoid any contact with your eyes, skin and clothes.Always wear protective glasses when you
have to work near the battery. In the event of a contact with sulphuric acid, give the FIRST AID as described
below:
• CONTACT WITH SKIN: Wash away with a great amount of water.
• INGESTION: Drink great amounts of water or milk, and immediately call a doctor.
• CONTACT WITH EYES: Wash away with water for about 15 minutes, and immediately call a
doctor. Furthermore, leakage of sulphuric acid can result in the formation of hydrogen gas which,
ifignited by a spark or a flame, would cause an explosion.
