How to replace dead battery 5600d

[angelseo]

Hi..You can raise the bed by opening the valve when the engine is running or when the car is getting start..And then charge the battery or replace it..I am not sure of replacing the battery..

Instead of raising the bed to change battery, remove the left rear plastic fender and then remove the battery to replace it. Just a few bolts at the rear of the fender and a few screws on the fuel filler cap.

This was way more elegant and easy. Remove the (4) T27 torx screws on the inside of the left wheel well that holds the plastic vent cover between the driver's door and the left rear wheel. Remove the fuel cap and the 3 screws under it that hold the plastic vent cover to the fuel neck. Pull on the right side of the plastic vent and it pivots out. Then you have full access to the battery without needing to lift the battery. There's enough clearance to jump the battery and even remove it. I was successful in jumping with a charger but my battery was only down about 50%.

I had to do the same thing earlier this year. I had a bad cell or a short in the OE battery and it wouldn't jump start. After pulling the panel, I disconnected the battery cables and attached them via jumpers directly to a new battery I had sitting on the ground. I started the Toolcat, raised the bed and slide the battery out through the side.
