of the motorcycle). Under no circumstances may
the battery be immersed in water.

as this may lead to an electric shock or short
circuit.
• The terminals of the battery may not be soldered.
• Ensure the positive and negative terminals are
connected correctly.

wet hands.
• Do not bend the connecting cables and do not
lay them over sharp edges.
• Do not operate the battery if there is visible
damage.
• Do not open the casing and do not make any
changes to the battery or its accessories.
CAUTION!
Risk of chemical burns!
When filling the battery for the first time, battery
acid, which is highly corrosive, is to be used.
