11.6 Installing/Removing the Batteries

WARNING
ALWAYS use a battery lifting strap when lifting a battery. It is the most convenient method and assures that the battery
acid will not spill. It also helps to prolong the life of the battery.
If there is battery acid in the bottom of the battery tray or on the sides of the battery, apply baking soda to these areas to

neutralize the battery acid. Before reinstalling the existing or new battery, clean the baking soda from the battery tray or
battery being sure to avoid contact with skin and eyes. Determine source of contamination. NEVER install/reinstall a battery
with a cracked or otherwise damaged case.
Have the following tools available.
