This model is equipped with a VRLA (Valve
Regulated Lead Acid) battery.
There is no need to check the electrolyte
or to add distilled water.
However, the battery lead connections
need to be checked and, if necessary, ti-
ghten.
WARNING
• Electrolyte is poisonous and dan-
gerous since it contains sulfuric
acid, which causes severe burns.
Avoid any contact with skin, eyes
or clothing and always shield your
eyes when working near batteries.
In case of contact, amnister the
following FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for
15 minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
• Batteries produce explosive hy-
drogen gas. Therefore, keep spar-
ks, flames, cigarettes, etc., away
from the battery and provide suf-
ficient ventilation when charging
it in an enclosed space.
• KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTERIES
OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
To charge the battery
Have a Benelli dealer charge the battery
as soon as possible if it seems to have di-
scharged. Keep in mind that the battery
tends to discharge more quickly if the
vehicle is equipped with optional electri-
cal accessories.
