Battery Service
The battery is the heart of the electrical system. With
regular and proper service, battery life can be extended.
Additionally, battery and electrical component failure
can be prevented.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD:
Either the battery terminals or metal tools could
short against metal vehicle components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN:
Sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode.
Damaged cables could short against metal ve-
hicle components and cause sparks.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD:
When removing or installing the battery, do not
allow the battery terminals to touch any metal
parts of the vehicle.
Always DISCONNECT the negative (black) bat-
tery cable before disconnecting the positive
(red) cable.
Always CONNECT the positive (red) battery
cable before connecting the negative (black)
cable.
Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals and metal parts of the ve-
hicle.
Always keep the battery retaining components
secure to protect the battery.

Battery Removal (Fig. 32)
IMPORTANT: Be careful to not damage terminal
posts or cable connectors when removing the bat-
tery cables.
1. Position vehicle on a level surface, set parking
brake, turn ignition switch OFF and remove key.
2. Remove battery cover.
3. Disconnect negative (black) cable from battery first
to prevent short circuiting the battery, other components
or operator’s hands. Then disconnect positive (red)
cable.
4. Remove battery retainer that secures battery to bat-
tery tray.
5. Make sure that battery filler caps are on tightly.
6. Remove battery from chassis to a service area. This
will minimize possible battery damage and allow better
access for battery inspection and service.
