by lifting up using the inset handle.  Pull the handle out and 
away from the cart and then down to completely remove the 
cover. 

3)  Next, pull the knobs (Fig 1) on the left and right sides of the 

battery tray towards the center of the cart.  Twist the knobs 
one quarter turn until they remain in the out (“unlocked”) 
position. 

4)  Pull the battery tray away from the cart using the formed 

metal handle in the center of the battery tray (Fig. 1 and 2). 

5)  Unplug both Anderson Connectors (Fig. 3) before removing 

the batteries. Do not pull wires.  Pull down on the plastic

holding both handles.  Gently lower the battery to the 
ground or to a transfer dolly.  Make sure ground is level and 
the dolly is locked in place.
