Battery Removal
WARNING
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion
and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, always
disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always
connect the negative (black) cable last.
1. Remove the front seat.
2. On conventional batteries,
remove the battery vent tube.
3. Disconnect the black (-) battery
cable first. Disconnect the red (+)
battery cable last.
4. Remove the battery hold-down
strap.
5. Lift the battery out of the vehicle.
Be careful not to tip a conventional battery sideways, which could
spill electrolyte.
NOTICE: If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of one
tablespoon baking soda and one cup water to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
