Batteries. To remove the vehicle batteries, first, ensure that

the engine is stopped.

If the vehicle is the infantry fighting

vehicle (IFV) version of the BFV, stow squad seat number four. After

squad seat number four has been stowed, stow the driver's seat.

With the seats stowed, remove the vehicle ground cable.

To remove

the vehicle ground cable, first move the FIRE SUPPRESSION switch to

the MANUAL position. Then remove the lock screw (3) (figure 1 on the

following page}, lock washer (4), washer (5), and electrical lead

1W16E2 (1) from the vehicle ground (2). Discard the lock washer and

the lock screw. Be sure to tape the end of the lead. This will aid

in easier identification when installing the vehicle ground cable.

Now remove the two battery compartment covers (6) (figure 2 on the

following page) from the battery compartments (7).

This is done by

unlatching the four latches (8) from the two covers; then remove the

two covers from the battery compartments.
