DANGER: HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE YOUR
CHARGER WHILE IT IS CONNECTED TO AN AC INPUT OUTLET OR TO THE BATTERY
RECEPTACLE. TURNING OFF THE CHARGER DOES NOT REDUCE THIS RISK!
1. Disconnect the charger’s AC input cord from its outlet and the DC output plug from the
battery receptacle.
2. Remove the Phillips screws that retain the cover and then remove the cover.
3. Disconnect the BLACK and RED wire connector from the existing electronic charge
controller. Remove the BLACK and WHITE leads of the AC input cord and both primary

(as shown in Figure 13A) with the two hole-mounting pattern on the charger enclosure. Drive
