10.INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE BEFORE RIDING

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF BATTERY

z This scooter is equipped with a maintenance-free type battery, so it is unnecessary to check and add

electrolyte. Have your scooter checked by SYM Authorized Dealer or Franchised Dealer should any

abnormality is found.

Remove the battery terminals and clean if there

are dirt and corrosion on them.

Battery removal procedures are as follows:

Turn ignition switch “OFF,” and remove

negative cable screw firstly and disconnect the

negative cable. Then, remove positive cable

screw and positive cable.

CAUTION:

z Clean the battery posts with warm water if the posts are eroded and have some white powders

on them.

z If there is an obvious erosion on the terminals, disconnect the cables, then clean the erosion off

with a steel brush or a piece of sandpaper.

z Install battery cable after cleaning and apply a thin coat of grease on the terminals.

z Install battery in reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

z This is a closed type battery. Never remove the caps.

z In order to prevent electric leakage and self-discharge when the battery sits idle for long periods.

Remove battery from scooter, store it in a well- ventilated and dimly lighted place after the battery

has been fully charged. Disconnect battery’s negative cable if the battery is still kept on the

scooter.

z If the battery needs to be replaced, replace with a same closed-type battery (Maintenance-Free).

TIRE INSPECTION

z Tires should be checked and inflated with the engine shut off.

z If a tire’s ground contacting curve is abnormal, check it with an air pressure gauge and inflate it to the

specified pressure.

z Tires pressure must be checked with an air pressure gauge when cold.
