10.2 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BATTERY
The battery is installed in front of the fuel tank on the front right side of the machine.
[1] REMOVAL
1. Open the inspection cover. For details, see “2.15 BATTERY INSPECTION
COVER”.
2. Raise the rubber cover (1) on the battery and move it to inspection cover.
3. Remove locknuts (2) (left and right: x 2), then remove plate (3).
4. Disconnect the battery cable from negative (-) terminal (4) for the ground,
then disconnect at positive (+) terminal end (5) and cable (6) connecting the
batteries.
5. Remove 2 batteries (7).

10.3 PRECAUTIONS WHEN CHARGING BATTERY
If the battery becomes discharged or the battery charge is low, charge the battery.
To charge the battery when it is still mounted on the machine, do as follows.
It is dangerous if the temperature of the battery electrolyte exceeds 45℃ during charging, so stop charging and
wait for the temperature to go down.
• Disconnect the wiring from the battery terminals before charging.
There is danger of abnormal voltage being applied to the alternator and damaging it.
When disconnecting the wiring, always disconnect the negative (-) terminal wiring first; and when connecting the wiring,
always connect the negative (-) terminal wiring last.
• During charging, remove all the plugs from the battery cells to allow any gas to escape.
• When the charging is completed, stop the charging immediately.
If the battery is overcharged, overheating of the battery will cause damage to the battery.
Reference: Measure the specific gravity and calculate the rate of charge from the following conversion table.
Temp. of battery electrolyte [deg C (deg F)]
