BATTERY REPLACEMENT

To replace the battery, refer to the original vehicle owner's manual for instructions
on how to properly remove and install the battery in your vehicle. Examine
the battery for excessive wear, cracks, bulging or damage each time you
charge the battery. If damage is detected, do not charge the battery; replace it
immediately. If the battery is hot, allow it to cool before charging.
Be sure to check that the battery's connector plug is correctly connected to the vehicle.
The vehicle is ready for use.
NOTE: The old battery must be disposed of properly (see Battery Disposal section).
6. BATTERY CARE AND STORAGE
6.1 If a leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid and place the battery in a
plastic bag prior to disposal. Refer to the disposal instructions in this manual.
6.2 If you will not be using the vehicle for an extended period of time, unplug the
battery from the main wiring harness of the vehicle.
6.3 Do not allow the battery to become completely run down/discharged before charging.
NOTE: This is a lead-acid battery and does not retain a memory like a NiCad
battery. Therefore, you do not need to completely discharge the battery before you
recharge it. In fact, completely discharging the battery will cause poor performance
and premature failure.
6.4 Charge the battery before storing the vehicle. Storing the battery in a discharged
state will permanently damage the battery.
6.5 Charge the battery at least once a month, even if the vehicle is not being used.
Batteries can fall out and injure a child if the vehicle tips over.
Always be sure the battery is properly installed after charging or
replacement and prior to use of the vehicle.
