enough charge in the battery to be able to start the
engine.
• If the battery is new, connect the relative leads.
• Take the machine outside.
• Start the engine by following the instructions
provided in this manual.
• Leave the engine running continuously for 45 mi-
nutes (the time needed to fully charge the battery).
• Turn off the engine.

Use of a standard charger may damage
the battery For further information, ple-
ase contact your dealer
Before connecting the battery charger,
disconnect the battery from the electri-
cal system
