WARNING:
PERSONAL INJURY RISK
The battery is heavy (19 kg/42 lbs). Observe safe lifting practices when remov-
ing or installing the battery.
1. Remove the inner rear platform cover.
a. Pull the bottom of the cover away from the platform chassis.
This is easiest if you grip it with two hands, toward the center.
b. Lower the cover down, so its top tab clears the rear outer cover.

The battery compartment door is capable of being locked. You may need to unlock it
before opening.
3. Disconnect the power and data cables before removing the battery.
