    • First locate the negative terminal and the nut that is holding the battery contact in place. To remove this, use the 8mm socket and ratchet and rotate nut counter-clockwise until it is loose enough to lift from terminal.

    • Be careful when handling the terminals to not touch both of them at the same time as that can cause serious harm. Always remove one terminal at a time starting with the negative terminal so you do not short out the battery.
