2. Pull up on the driver’s seat latch strap and pivot forward and upward to remove the seat from the vehicle. Note: The battery's location may be different, depending on if you have a 2-seat or 4-seat model. Check your Owner's Manual to verify.
3. Loosen the negative battery cable fastener first with a 10mm socket to prevent arcing and set the cable aside.
4. Slide the red boot back from the positive cable.
5. Loosen the positive cable fastener and set the cable aside.

7. Pivot the bracket up and around the floor trim. Slide the bar towards the console and pivot up to remove.
