The battery connectors are located under the battery cover. To connect
batteries:

Ensure that the power and PTO switches are in the OFF position.

Rotate cover toward handlebar. Use care not to place tension on
wires.

Connect two batteries to power harness leads. Ensure that connectors
are fully seated and lock in place.

Install battery cover. To prevent damage to cover do not overtighten
hex head screws.

Both batteries must be disconnected to fully remove power

from the electrical system.
