Setup

Preparing the Machine

  1. Park the machine on a level surface.

  2. Engage the parking brake.

  3. Shut off the engine and remove the key.

Disconnecting the Battery

Warning

Electrical sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables, causing sparks.

  • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.

  • Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable.

Warning

Battery terminals or metal tools could short against metal components, causing sparks.

  • When removing or installing the battery, do not allow the battery terminals to touch any metal parts of the machine.

  • Do not allow metal tools to short between the battery terminals and metal parts of the machine.

  • Always keep the battery strap in place to protect and secure the battery.

  1. Unlatch the seat by pushing the seat-latch handle rearward (Figure 1).

  2. Rotate the seat and seat plate forward until the end of the prop rod, at the prop-rod bracket, is at the bottom of the slot in the bracket (Figure 1).

  3. Remove the bolt and nut that secures the terminal of the negative battery cable to the negative post of the battery.

  4. Slide back the insulator cover and remove the bolt and nut that secures the terminal of the positive battery cable to the positive post of the battery (Figure 2).

    Note: Ensure that the terminals of the battery cables do not touch the battery posts.

Note: Keep the seat in the forward position.

Assembling the Relay and Fuse to the Power Harness

Parts needed for this procedure:

Power harness1
Relay1
  1. Assemble the relay into the 4-contact connector of the power harness (Figure 3).

  2. Insert the fuse (60 A) into the socket of the fuse-holder for the power harness (Figure 3).

Routing the Power Harness

Parts needed for this procedure:

Cable tie5
  1. Starting from the battery, route the power harness under and along the shock-support tube (Figure 4).

    g252322
  2. Route the power harness under the right side of the shock-support tube and under the bottom console cover (Figure 5).

    g252323
  3. Secure the power harness to the machine using 5 cable ties.

Assembling the Ring Terminals to the Battery Cables

  1. At the positive and negative battery cables, remove the battery-clamp nuts from the short side of the battery clamp bolts.

  2. Assemble the ring terminal of the power harness for the wire labeled BATTERY (-) onto the battery clamp bolt for the negative battery cable with a battery-clamp nut (Figure 6).

    g252002
  3. Assemble the ring terminal of the power harness for the wire labeled BATTERY (+) onto the battery clamp bolt for the positive battery cable with a battery-clamp nut (Figure 6).

    Note: Do not assemble the battery cables to the machine. You will connect the battery in a later step.

Connecting the Power Harness to the Sunshade Wire Harness

Parts needed for this procedure:

Cable tie1
  1. Plug the 2-socket connector of the power harness into the 2-pin connector for the sunshade wire harness (Figure 7).

  2. Secure the power harness to the roll-bar tube with a cable tie (Figure 7).

Connecting the Battery

Warning

Electrical sparks can cause the battery gasses to explode, resulting in personal injury.

Incorrect battery cable routing could damage the machine and cables, causing sparks.

  • Always disconnect the negative (black) battery cable before disconnecting the positive (red) cable.

  • Always connect the positive (red) battery cable before connecting the negative (black) cable.

  1. Connect the positive cable to the battery and tighten the battery-clamp nut (Figure 8).

  2. Connect the negative cable to the battery and tighten the battery-clamp nut (Figure 8).

  3. Assemble the insulator over the positive battery terminal (Figure 8).
