Batteries
The batteries are contained within a tray
located under the seat, which is retained
by a bar.
Removing
1. To remove the batteries, should they
require changing or maintenance,
unscrew the two locks by rotating anti-
clockwise approximately 1/4 turn at a
time. Depress the centre button to allow
the locking lever to rotate freely into a
position where the unlocking process
can be repeated once the centre button
has been released.
2. Repeat this ‘ratchet’ action until both
locks and the retaining bar can be
removed, and then slide the tray
backwards, using the hand grip area
under the centre of the tray (Fig. 54
and 55). The tray will lock two thirds of
the way out (Fig. 54).
WARNING
Batteries weigh up to 55 lb (25 kg).
Lifting batteries may cause back
strain. If you fail to heed these
warnings severe injury may occur.
3. Connect and disconnect battery cables
with caution. Connect the red lead to
the positive terminal and the black lead
to the negative terminal. Do this for
each battery.
4. Tighten all terminal fasteners using two
10mm wrenches to 6.8Nm.
WARNING
Never make direct contact across
both battery terminals, as an
explosion may occur. A spark may
result in an explosion and/or fire
resulting in severe injury or death.
