system. Under normal mowing usage, it is not
necessary to charge or maintain the battery.

and the battery cover.
2. Disconnect the battery connector, and then
remove the battery.
3. Disconnect the key switch connector, 3 A
fuse and 30 A SLO-BLO fuse. Pull the wire
harness and connectors from the retainers.

holding the battery box to the handlebar.
Remove the steel collar.

switch in place. Remove the switch base
and key switch.

Carefully position the battery in the case without pinching the wires. The wires must be routed above the top side of
the battery exactly as shown.
There is an optional battery float charger and adapter harness that can be connected to
the battery charge port connector located on the right handle stay.
