Battery Rollers
There are five battery rollers in the battery
compartment. They can be removed and
disassembled for cleaning or repair as shown in
Figure 1.1.
The battery rollers must be installed in the
compartment in the pattern shown in Figure 1.2.
Battery Gates
1.
To remove a battery gate, slide the gate up so
that the rear tab lines up with the cutout in the
frame. Rotate the rear of the gate away from
the frame, and remove the gate.
2.
To install a battery gate, insert the front tab of
the gate into the slot in the frame. Line up the
rear tab of the gate with the cutout in the
frame. Rotate the gate into the cutout and
slide the gate all the way down.
WARNING
Do not operate the truck with a battery gate
removed - the battery could slide out of the
compartment and could cause damage and/or
personal injury.
NOTE
The battery must not be able to slide more
than 1/2” in any horizontal direction. If
necessary, install spacers between the battery
and the frame to achieve this specification.

Remove the overhead guard mounting screws
from the front crossbar and rear post.
