Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion and cause serious
injury or death. When removing the battery, always disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When
reinstalling the battery, always connect the negative (black) cable last.
1. Remove the seat.
2. On conventional batteries, remove the battery vent
tube.
3. Disconnect the black (-) battery cable first. Discon-
nect the red (+) battery cable last.
4. Remove the battery hold-down strap.
5. Lift the battery out of the vehicle. Be careful not to tip
a conventional 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.
