Installing The Batteries; Connecting The Batteries - Mercury M48 GT Owner's Handbook Manual

Installing the batteries

The batteries procedure below is used to either install, replace or gain access to clean the battery.
If the batteries are contaminated by water, battery acid, dust or other substances, they will discharge
quicker. The batteries supplied with the scooter are sealed and as such are maintenance free with no risk
of battery leakage. Please follow the steps below to install the batteries.
1. Turn the scooter off at the ignition
2. Remove the seat and shroud (optional)
3. Adjust the tiller so it is fully forward (only required if the seat and shroud have not been removed)
4. Remove the locking pins attaching the top of the two rear shock absorbers to the 'H' frame.
5. Tilt the 'H' frame forward to gain access to the battery bays. Tilt by lifting up the 'H' frame from
the rear if the shroud and seat are removed. If the seat and shroud are still present, tilt by lifting
the handle at the back of the seat. Ensure the elbow of the silver locking arm is pushed forward to
its furthest extent.
6. Remove old batteries if necessary. Insert a new battery in to each of the battery bays.

The batteries must be connected as shown in the
diagram (left) and photograph (below).
It is important that the cables are routed as shown
in the photograph as failure to do so could
interfere with the 'H' frame and other components
when the rear of the scooter is being accessed for
maintenance.
