Battery Removal
1.
Remove straps holding the
electrical box and battery in
position.
2.
Move the electrical box out of the
way. It does not have to be
opened for battery removal.
NOTE: Some wiring may have to
be removed from wire clips for
access to battery.
3. Remove the battery vent tube
from the battery.
4. Disconnect the black (negative)
battery cable first.
5.
Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable next.
6.
Lift the battery out of the watercraft, being careful not to tip it sideways and spill
any electrolyte.
If an electrolyte spill occurs, apply a generous amount of baking soda to the area
and then rinse with fresh water.
Replenishing Battery
Fluid
A poorly maintained battery will de-
teriorate rapidly. Check the battery
fluid level each day the watercraft is
ridden.
The fluid level should be kept be-
tween the upper and lower level
marks.
To refill use only distilled water. Tap
water contains minerals which are
harmful to a battery.
Do not allow cleaning solution or
tap water to enter the battery. It will
shorten the life of the battery.
