.10 BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
4.10.1 24 VOLT SYSTEM
Remove battery negative (-) cables.
Remove battery positive (+) cables.
Remove battery hold down.
Remove batteries from vehicle.
To install batteries, reverse the removal procedure with the negative (-) cables being attached last.
4.10.2 48 VOLT SYSTEM
The 48 volt system has the Delta-Q charger located above the batteries. To service or remove the
batteries will require rotating the charger up and to the side.
See Figure 4.10.2.1. Two wing nuts (A) secure the charger to a
support bar (B). Loosen each wing nut approximately 1 1/4 turns.
NOTICE:
The wing nuts must be loosened only enough to allow the support bar (B) to rotate. If
loosened too much the base of the wing nut will not allow the support bar to rotate.
After loosening, make sure the wing nuts are aligned with the slots
in the charger as shown in Figure 4.10.2.2.
While supporting the charger with one hand, rotate the support bar
way from the charger. This will free the charger. See Figure
4.10.2.3.
See Figure 4.10.2.4. The charger can now be rotated upward
allowing access to the batteries.
