Battery Removal

1. Remove the seat.
2. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.
3. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable last.
4. Disconnect the battery hold-down strap.
5. On conventional batteries, remove the battery vent tube.
6. Lift the battery out of the vehicle. Be careful not to tip a conven-

tional battery sideways, which could spill electrolyte.

NOTICE: If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of one

tablespoon baking soda and one cup water to prevent damage to the

vehicle.
