Removing the Battery
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Be careful when handling the battery. Keep flames and

battery cables, disconnect the negative cable FIRST and
reconnect it LAST. If not done in this order, the positive

To remove the battery
1. Disconnect the black negative (-) cable ( A , Figure 30)
from the negative (-) battery terminal, and secure away
from the battery.
2. Disconnect the red positive (+) cable ( B , Figure 30) from
the postive (+) battery terminal, and secure away from
the battery.
3. Remove the hardware ( C , Figure 30) securing one side
of each hold-down bracket, and swing the brackets off to
the rear of the battery.
4. Carefully remove the battery, and place in a well-ventilat-
ed area on a level surface.
To install the battery
1. Carefully place the battery in the engine compartment
with the battery terminals toward the rear of the unit.
2. Install the battery hold-downs on top of the battery,
securing with the removed hardware. Tighten securely.
3. Connect the red positive (+) cable to the positive (+) bat-
tery terminal.
4. Connect the black negative (-) cable to the negative (-)
battery terminal.
5. Replace the terminal covers over the battery terminals.

face.
3. Using distilled water, refill the cells as required to cover

to the battery terminals: red to positive (+) terminal and
black to negative (-) terminal.
5. Slow charge the battery at 1 amp for 10 hours.
