The second battery unit is dislodged simply by
sliding
it toward the front of the
scooter (2 – Figure 7/a).
NOTE:
Do not attempt to lift and remove this unit by holding it by the bridge
illustrated in Figure 7/e.
PUTTING IN A NEW NICKEL-ZINC BATTERY
1. Unpack the battery pack (each unit is packed in its own box).
The one labeled FRONT goes in the well at the front of the scooter, and the
battery labeled REAR, at the back.
NOTE:
The replacement battery packs always contain the connection cables as
well. They include the main insulation bridge (Figure 7/d) and two smaller
insulation bridges (Figure 7/e).
Always use the new parts when changing the batteries.

Refer to the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE FREE
SEALED NI-ZN BATTERIES manual that comes with each battery pack
for instructions on:
o
removing the battery terminal caps
o
the correct tightness of the screws for each cable for proper electrical
contact and to maintain the integrity of the terminals.
NOTE:
Use a torquemeter to tighten the screws to the exact tension required.
2. Connect the bridge that was supplied in the box labeled REAR (Figure 7/d) toward
the SEAT first, and then slide in the batteries as far in as they can go.
3. Place the batteries that came in the box labeled FRONT in front so that the
terminals that are to be connected face each other (Figure 7/e) and the positive
and negative poles face the front fork.
4. Attach the two connection bridges between the two units (Figure 7/e).
5. Attach the negative pole to its respective battery terminal (Figure 7/b)
6. Attach the positive pole and the temperature sensor (Figure 7/c)
7. See if it works.
If the test is successful,
•
put the cap back on
•
replace the bar
•
put the cables in place
•
close the cover of the battery case.
