Remove the front cover.

Schritt 6

Use an 8 mm socket to disconnect the battery wires from the battery terminals.
Disconnect the black negative cable first to prevent the risk of shorting the battery.
During reassembly, connect the black negative cable first. Make sure you reconnect the wires in the correct polarity.

Schritt 7

Unclip the battery strap from the lower plate.

Schritt 8

Remove the battery.

Schritt 9

Use a 10 mm socket to remove the four capped nuts securing the lower plate.

Remove the lower plate.

Schritt 10

Insert a flathead screwdriver into the top of the brown fuse clip in order to release the fuse holder.
Detach the fuse holder from the brown clip.

Schritt 11

Use pliers to lift and disconnect the choke cable from the choke stay.
During reassembly, be sure to test the choke to ensure that it is properly connected.

Schritt 12

Use a long shaft Phillips screwdriver to remove the deeply recessed screw securing the fuel cutoff switch.

Remove the following bolts securing the inverter:
One 8 mm ground bolt
Three 10 mm bolts (one behind the control panel)

Schritt 17

Reach behind the inverter along the edges and disconnect the six connectors from the back of the inverter.
All the connectors use locking tabs, so you will have to squeeze them in order to release them.
The third image shows the locations of all six sockets on the inverter.
Reassembly tip: Every socket on the inverter is different, so you can't plug something into the wrong place. Do not force the connectors into their sockets.

Schritt 18

Remove the inverter.

Schritt 19

If you are replacing the inverter and the replacement did not come with rubber mounts, follow the next two steps to transfer them over.
Use a screwdriver to push the metal collar out of the center of the rubber mount.
