Battery Replacement
Before you disconnect or connect a battery or any other wires, move the run/tow switch to TOW position.
After you connect a battery or any other wires, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before you move the run/tow
switch to the RUN position.
Remove the battery hold downs and cables. Remove the batteries with a commercially available lifting device.
If the batteries are cleaned and acid in the battery rack area is neutralized as recommended, no corrosion to the battery
racks or surrounding area should be found. Any corrosion found must be removed with a putty knife and a wire brush.
The area must be washed with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and water and dried before primer and
corrosion resistant paint is applied.
Put the batteries in the battery racks and tighten the hold downs to 45 - 55 in. lbs. (5 - 6 Nm) torque. The hold downs
must be tight enough to prevent movement of the battery, but not tight enough to cause distortion of the battery cases.
Inspect all wires and terminals. Clean corrosion from the battery terminals or the wire terminals with a solution of sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda) and soft brush if needed.
Be careful when you use aerosol containers near the battery terminals. Use a container with insu-
lation to prevent an explosion.
Make sure you connect the battery wires as shown.
Tighten the battery post hardware to 90 - 100 in. lbs. (6 -8
Nm) torque
.
Do not over-tighten the terminal stud nut, this will
cause a “mushroom” effect on the battery post which will pre-
vent the terminal nut from being correctly tightened.
Protect the battery terminals and battery wire terminals with a
commercially available coating.
Prolonged Storage
Disconnect the battery charger, controller and other electronic devices for extended storage. All connected
electronic components cause the discharge of batteries.
Put the run/tow switch in the TOW position for extended storage of the vehicle to prevent draining of the batteries.
