- Disconnect the Battery - Disconnect the battery by pulling apart the yellow XT-90 connector making sure to pull from the connector itself and not the wires.

A burned-out main fuse will prevent the display from turning on. Blade fuse replacements can be picked up at an auto parts store or through Cycleboard.
- Checking Charging Fuse - Remove the four screws on the end cap of the battery with the red and black wires and open the fuse box inside. Ensure that the thin U-shaped wire inside the fuse is intact and close the box.

- Battery Alignment - Press the front of the battery toward the rear of the board firmly and install the 2 locknuts at the front with an 8 mm socket on an extension.
- Closing the Deck - Fold the deck back down to close and either install the 4 locknuts with an 8 mm socket or install the 4 finger nuts by hand instead. When installing the finger nuts tighten all 4 of them down firmly by the hand and then tighten them all again by hand one more time to ensure they are fully tightened.
With the finger nuts installed in place of the locknuts, the deck can be opened in seconds with no tools. If the deck does not need to be opened.
