handles and carefully fold the upper handle down
toward the lower handle as shown in Figure 20.
2. Remove the two screws securing battery cover to bat-
tery housing and place them to the side. See Figure
20.
3. Open battery cover, remove positive and negative
leads from battery, remove and replace with new
battery. See Figure 21. Connect the positive lead to
the positive side of the battery pack, then connect the
negative side.
NOTE: The battery you have may differ slightly from the
one shown in Figure 21. Refer to the Parts List.
IMPORTANT: When replacing battery pack in handle
panel, battery pack must be positioned with the posi-
tive terminal to the left side and the negative terminal
to the right side of panel (Positive terminal is closest
to the key switch). See Figure 21. Replacing battery
pack incorrectly will cause serious damage.

with the two screws removed earlier, making sure
to snap the wire conduit on the left into place on the
housing.
