Replace 12 V Battery Introduction

The battery is encased in a black box that extends below the cart. You can access the battery by removing the cover panel located at the bottom of the back of the cart.

Caution: Unplug the cart’s spiral power cord from the outlet to prevent personal injury when working with the battery assembly.

Procedure Complete the following procedure to replace the battery:

1. Turn off the power to the cart and unplug the spiral AC power cord from the wall socket.

2. Lock the cart’s locking casters, if available.

3. Kneel facing the rear of the cart and locate the battery cover panel, which has two black knobs.

Battery Access Cover Panel

• The smaller knob (furthest away from the cart) tightens or loosens the inner locking device and has small grooves.

• The larger knob rotates the inner locking device and has larger (finger) grooves.

Note: If two screws are present, remove them.

4. Rotate the large knob 1/4-turn to the left until the cover panel unlocks. The entire cover panel will come loose and fall outward, exposing the cart’s battery.

5. Set the cover panel aside.

6. Place your fingers in the two slots on the top front of the battery and pull it forward to expose the battery’s terminals. You can allow the battery to tip out with the bottom front edge resting on the floor.

Caution: Do not pull the battery all the way out of the cart, as this may damage the wiring.

Caution: Do not place your hand on the top of the battery to pull it out. You could injure yourself on the panel latch that extends down.

7. Use a 10 mm wrench to remove the bolts on the battery terminals. Disconnect the wire from the negative (-) terminal first, followed by the wire from the positive terminal.

8. Pull the old battery out of the case and set it aside.

9. Set the replacement battery in the case with the terminals exposed.

10. Connect the wires and replace the bolts.

• First connect the red wire to the battery’s red (positive (+)) terminal.

• Then connect the black wire to the battery’s black (negative (-)) terminal.

11. Push the replacement battery to the back of the case, exposing the slot on the bottom front edge of the case.

12. Grab the cover panel by the knob and replace it by fitting the notch on the bottom edge of the panel into the slot on the battery case.

13. Push the cover panel back and secure it in place by rotating the large knob 1/4-turn to the right.

14. If necessary, tighten the panel by turning the small knob clockwise.

Note: Only hand-tighten the knobs to prevent damage to your cart.

Plug the black spiral power cord into an AC outlet and charge the battery for at least three hours prior to use.
