Removing/Installing Batteries from/into Battery Tray

Always use the battery handle or lifting strap when lifting the 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.
DO NOT tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an upright position.
