IMPORTANT: To help ensure optimum performance, the
drive shaft assemblies are specially balanced as a unit at
the factory. When servicing any flange yoke, slip yoke, or
drive shaft tube, order a complete assembly if
components are bent or damaged. Refer to the
appropriate Parts Manual for ordering information.

1. Level the vehicle, ground the carriage, place the
travel select lever in the (N) NEUTRAL position,
place the neutral lock lever in the (N) NEUTRAL
LOCK position, engage the parking brake switch and
shut the engine OFF.
2. Place an Accident Prevention Tag on both the
ignition key switch and steering wheel, stating that
the vehicle should not be operated. (Refer to Section
1.5, “Accident Prevention Tag Usage.”)
3. Unlock and open the engine cover. Allow the engine,
transmission and hydraulic fluid to cool.
4. If the vehicle has dual batteries, disconnect both
negative battery cables (12 and 13) from both

To access the lower battery (14), loosen the knob
(15) far enough so that the lip (16) on the upper
battery box clears the knob. Lift up the upper battery
box (17) and swing it out, so that the box clears the
hydraulic tank support bracket, to gain access to the
lower negative battery cable (12). Disconnect the
lower negative battery cable.
