Battery — removal and installation

1. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal first, then disconnect the cable from the positive battery terminal (see illustration).

i.1 Battery details:

1 Negative battery cable
2 Positive battery cable and terminal cover
3 Battery hold-down clamp fasteners

2. Remove the battery hold-down clamp.

3. Lift out the battery. Be careful — it’s heavy.

Note: Battery straps and handlers are available at most auto parts stores for reasonable prices. They make it easier to remove and carry the battery

4. If you are replacing the battery, make sure you get one that’s identical, with the same dimensions, amperage rating, cold cranking rating, etc.

5. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.
