BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND DISPOSAL
The battery will eventually lose the ability to hold a charge.
Depending on the amount of use, and varying conditions, the
battery should operate for one to three years. Follow these steps to
replace and dispose the battery:
1. Remove the screw from the seat and lift the seat off the body.
2. Disconnect the battery connectors.
3. Remove the screws on the battery bracket, and remove
the bracket from the top of the battery.
4. Carefully lift the battery out of the compartment.
Depending on
the condition of the battery (i.e.: leakage) you may want to wear
protective gloves before removal. Do not lift the battery by its
connectors or cables.
5. Replace the battery.
6. Reconnect the battery connectors.
7. Replace the plastic battery bracket and secure with the two
screws you removed in step 3.
8. Replace the seat and lock it into place.
9. Place the dead battery in a plastic bag. Important! Recycle the
dead battery responsibly. The battery contains lead acid
(electrolyte) and must be disposed of properly and legally. It is
illegal in most areas to incinerate lead acid batteries or dispose of
them in landfills. Take it to a federal or state-approved lead acid
battery recycler, such as an authorized service center or your
local automotive battery retailer. Do not throw the battery away
with your regular household trash!
