Battery Maintenance

WHEN YOU INSTALL OR CHANGE BATTERIES

• Turn the truck OFF. Check that all controls 

  are in neutral. Disconnect the battery.
• Make certain you use the correct size and weight  

  battery. Never operate a truck that has an 

  underweight or undersized battery installed.
• Use a roller stand to install or remove a battery. Make  

  sure the roller stand is the same height as the rollers  

  in the truck's battery compartment. Also make sure  

  the roller stand is at least as long as your battery.
• Never let anything metal touch the top of the cells.   

  You could cause sparks or do damage to the battery.   

  Use an insulator (such as plywood) when necessary.
• Use an approved spreader bar to place a battery on,  

  or remove it from a stand. Make sure you adjust the  

  spreader bar hooks to fit the battery.

AFTER INSTALLING YOUR BATTERY

• Replace the battery retainers. Make certain all  

  retainers on both sides of the truck are in place.  
• Connect the battery. Turn the truck ON and check

  truck operation.
