WARNING
Always use a battery lifting strap when lifting a
battery. It is the most convenient method and
assures that the battery acid will not spill (wet cell
batteries). It also helps to prolong the life of the
battery.
NOTE: Refer to the battery manufacturer for the proper
lifting strap and/or battery tools for U1 battery removal/
installation.
1. Clean battery terminals. Refer to CLEANING BAT-
TERY TERMINALS in this section.
2. Secure battery lifting strap or battery tools to battery
and remove from battery box. Repeat for other bat-
tery.
NOTE: If there is battery acid in the bottom or on the sides
of the battery box or battery, apply baking soda to these
areas to neutralize the battery acid. Before reinstalling the
NEW or existing battery(ies), clean the baking soda from
the battery box(es) or battery(ies).
