Removing/Installing the Battery
To remove the battery:
1. Press the button on the connector to separate it. Each half of
the connector is keyed, so it will only reattach one way when
you replace the battery.
2. Use the battery key to detach the battery from the bracket. You
don’t need to use the key when reattaching the battery.
3. Tilt the battery away from the pedestal and lift the battery out of
the bracket. Care should be taken when pulling the battery
cable through the bottom hole of the holding bracket to prevent
scraping and/or catching.
