Remove & Replace

WARNING: During battery removal or before carrying out any repairs or maintenance to electrical components always disconnect the battery negative lead first. If the positive lead is disconnected with the negative lead in place, accidental contact of the wrench to any grounded metal part could cause a severe spark, possibly resulting in personal injury. Upon installation of the battery the positive lead should be connected first.

NOTE: If a new battery is fitted to the vehicle it should be the same type as fitted to the vehicle when new. Alternative batteries may vary in size and terminal positions and this could be a possible fire hazard if the terminals or leads come into contact with the battery clamp assembly. When fitting a new battery ensure that the terminals and leads are clear of the battery clamp assembly.
