TCP dumper battery replacement

[Sam]

Has any one changed a battery on a tcp 500 tracked dumper? Do you need to take the engine out?

Hi Sam, bit of a diagram on page 50 or around that area, hope it helps...

Can't you get access by removing the panel behind the skip?

Managed to get it out, had to take the engine door off, disconnect the battery leads, drop the battery box from underneath & slide it out with the leads all attached. The standard battery fitted is half of the recommended capacity for the engine so no wonder it always needs charging. The battery is positioned right under the engine with the flap on the battery box on the top.
