4.7.1. Removal and installation of battery
If you intend to use the vehicle longer than 5 hours, without being able to recharge the battery, or
when the battery has reached the end of its lifetime or is defective, the battery must be exchanged.
Attention: Always replace the battery by an original battery YUASA 12V-6,5 Ah, as this battery
is a matched system with the recharger.
Note: Batteries contain environmentally harmful but at the same time valuable raw
materials and therefore must be appropriately disposed of or recycled.

¨ Detach the black (-) pole (to avoid short-
circuit).

¨ Remove battery (pos.17) from its support (pos.14).
Attention: By no means a short circuit must be produced between the two connecting pole.
