Fantic Caballero 500 - Owner's Manual > Lubrication and cleaning

The chain must always be kept well lubricated and must be cleaned especially after riding off-road with mud or sand. If there are dry or rusty parts, if there are crushed or seized meshes, it is advisable to lubricate the chain and replace the damaged parts in working conditions. If this is not possible, contact an Authorized Fantic Motor Centre.

Do not wash the chain with jets of water, steam, high pressure jets and solvents with a high degree of flammability.

For chain recommended lubrication and cleaning products, refer to the "RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS TABLE" section.

BATTERY

The "A" battery is located under the saddle. The type of battery installed does not require maintenance. It is therefore not necessary to check the electrolyte level or top up with water.

Battery disassembly

Keep exhausted batteries out of reach of children and arrange for regular disposal.

Do not remove the protections and install the battery respecting the polarities.

Protect the battery clamps with Vaseline grease.
