1. Before removing batteries, note the orientation of the batteries and the connecting wires. Disconnect the
battery cables as instructed.
See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in General Warn-
Remove remaining wires and batteries.
2. Visually inspect the new batteries for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
3. If the battery cables are to be reused, inspect them for broken or frayed wires, damaged terminals, or
worn insulation. Remove any corrosion on the connectors. A solution of baking soda and water (1 cup
(237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water) does an excellent job of neutralizing and removing
the corrosion. Be careful not to allow the baking soda solution to enter the battery.
