Key Installation Highlights:

1. Preparation:
   • Turn the key to the off position and set the parking brake.
   • Raise the seat and place the tow/run switch in the "tow" position.
   • Photograph the existing battery setup for reference and label cables.
   • Remove the seat by tilting and lifting it straight up.
2. Battery Removal:
   • Disconnect the main negative cable first, followed by the positive.
   • Remove any additional cables, battery hold-downs, and the old batteries.
   • Clean the battery compartment thoroughly to ensure a clean installation surface.
3. Installing the Lithium Battery System:
   • Align the Pro-Guide lithium battery in the compartment and secure it using the provided brackets and hardware.
   • Connect the main positive and negative cables, ensuring correct stacking order (highest load closest to the terminal).
   • Install the new charging receptacle and connect the charger with proper ventilation.
   • Securely mount the charger under the driver’s side, ensuring it is away from direct water spray and has at least 6 inches of ventilation space.
4. Optional Add-Ons:

   • Use a hole saw to mount the state-of-charge gauge and power button on the dashboard. Route the wiring harness securely to these components.
   • Plug the harness into the gauge and power button, then secure them into place on the dash.
5. Final Setup:
   • Connect the state-of-charge gauge harness to the battery, ensuring the alignment tab clicks into place.
   • Secure all wires and double-check all connections to ensure they are correct.
   • Reinstall the seat and switch the tow/run toggle back to "run."
