Replacing Battery (If Equipped)
WARNING: Batteries contain sulfuric
acid which may cause burns. Do not
short circuit or mutilate batteries in any
way. Do not put batteries in fire as these
may burst or release toxic materials.
1. Loosen round handle knobs securing upper and lower
handles and carefully fold the upper handle down
toward the lower handle as shown in Figure 5-6.
2. Remove the two screws securing battery cover to bat-
tery housing and place them to the side. See Figure
5-6.
3. Open battery cover, remove positive and negative
leads from battery, remove and replace with new
battery. Connect the positive lead to the positive side
of the battery pack, then connect the negative side.
NOTE: The battery you have may differ slightly from the
one shown in Figure 5-7. Refer to the Parts List.
IMPORTANT: When replacing battery pack in handle
panel, battery pack must be positioned with the positive
terminal to the left side and the negative terminal to the
right side of panel (Positive terminal is closest to the key
switch). See Figure 5-7. Replacing battery pack incor-
rectly will cause serious damage.

with the two screws removed earlier, making sure
to snap the wire conduit on the left into place on the
housing.
