New Battery ?

Post by RaptorJo »

Hi All

Looks like my battery might be on the way out - optimate keeps going red :( What battery can folks recommend. And I've looked in the manual but can't seem to find where it says how you take the battery out.
Can someone give me a page number ? or a quick run down on how I do it. (in nice simple terms please)

Ta very muchly :D

Yuasa tx9bs

battery's removed by un-hooking the rubber strap from the hook


edit to add(and because i only remembered the rubber bungee thing)
page 112 in the owners manual,

and (in case the page is missing)
loosen the screw on the plate that holds the hook; undo terminals (negative first); remove cables from terminals; remove battery; place new battery (and in troo haynes stylee ->; reverse procedure); remembering to attach positive cable first
