8.2 Look inside the battery aperture in the frame.
The picture below shows the cables in a ‘relaxed’ state making it very difficult to install the
battery pack.
8.3 Pull the cables about 80-100mm in the direction shown.
Cables can be
‘relaxed’ and bunched
up, which can make it
hard to insert the
battery pack.
Pull the cables this
way about 80-100mm
to tighten them inside
the frame.

This will allow the battery to be installed easily.

WARNING! Do not force the battery pack into the frame. If it does not go in easily, the
cables inside the frame should be pulled tight.

now ‘tightened’ and
out of the way of the
battery pack.
