Opening Battery Circuit

WARNING
Battery terminals, battery cables, or metal tools
could short against metal components causing
sparks. Sparks can cause the battery damage
and high heat, resulting in personal injury.
- - When removing or installing the batteries, do
not allow the battery terminals or battery cables
to touch any metal parts of the machine.
- - Do not allow metal tools to short between the
battery terminals or battery cables and metal
parts of the machine.
- - Do not attach anything to the battery terminal
other than the battery cable or wire harness con-
nector that came with the product.
To prevent allowing a current path through tools used
during vehicle electrical circuit repairs, disconnect the
conductors between the battery pack and vehicle com-
ponents as the first step in any electrical system repair.
Battery pack cable routing is shown in Figure 2.
Before working on the vehicle electrical system, remove
battery conductors as follows (Fig. 2):
1. Park vehicle on a level surface, turn key switch to
OFF, engage the parking brake and remove key from
the key switch. Make sure that the vehicle battery charg-
er is not connected to an electrical outlet.
2. Raise and support cargo bed to allow access to bat-
tery pack.
IMPORTANT: To prevent accidentally shorting a
disconnected battery cable across other compon-
ents or tools, insulate the battery cable terminal
with a 76 mm (3 inch) length of 1.27 mm (0.5 in) in-
ternal diameter rubber hose immediately after dis-
connecting the cable; refer to Fig. 3.
3. Remove the negative (–) battery terminal boot from
the front battery pack.
4. Remove the flange nut and negative (–) battery
cable from the battery terminal; refer to Fig. 3.
5. Remove the positive (+) battery terminal boot from
the rear battery pack.
6. Remove the flange nut and positive (+) battery cable
from the battery terminal; refer to Fig. 4.

8. Service electrical system on the vehicle as required.
Take care during repairs, however, to not allow tools or
vehicle components to complete the battery circuit that
was opened with the cable removal.
