When the machine begins to show a loss of range or when the length of the discharge/charge cycle is significantly reduced, the batteries are probably getting old and losing their ability to hold a charge.

Take the machine to an Authorized Service Dealer and have them test the batteries to determine whether the batteries need to be replaced. The dealer can then replace the batteries for you. If you wish to replace the batteries yourself, use the following procedure:

1. Raise the cargo bed, turn the key off, and remove it.

2. Disconnect the long, black, main negative lead running from the bank of batteries to the machine from the battery post.

3. Remove the long, red, main positive lead running from the bank of batteries to the machine from the battery post.

4. Disconnect all of the battery leads from the batteries.

5. Remove the battery retainers located between the batteries.

6. Remove all of the batteries and recycle them according to your local codes.

7. Install new batteries in the places vacated by the old batteries

Park the machine on a level surface, set the parking brake, turn the On/Off switch to Off, and remove the key

Remove the rubber plug in the center and on top of the dash to gain access to the master brake cylinder and reservoir

Look at the side of the reservoir, and ensure that the fluid level is above the Minimum line

If the fluid level is low, clean the area around the cap, remove the cap, and fill the reservoir to above the Minimum line. Do not overfill

Check the brake and parking brake and adjust as needed
