Installing
1.
Install the two new batteries into the battery box.
2.
Secure the thermal switch to the side of the left battery using tape.
For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.3 on page 41.
Mounting screws are located on the underside of the battery box.
The thermal switch needs to be well secured and in direct contact with the side of the battery. Service tape is available as a
service part and is the recommended solution. As an alternate, a heavy duty “duct” styled tape can be used. If “duct” styled
tape is used, wrapping the tape completely around the battery with minimal overlap will provide the best adhesion.
