Hi Everyone,
Recently bought a B7100HST-D and working through hydraulic hoses etc. Some fluid got sprayed :)

Wiping up I see the battery is on a little shelf that is 10.5 by 5.5 inches. I have a 51R battery which is a little smaller footprint than the shelf.

There is NO hold-down of any type and with the !lubrication of the sprayed fluid it moves all around.

How was this SUPPOSED to be held in place. ??

Thanks!

Regards, Terry King

Up here Princess Auto sells a 'battery hold down kit'. so someone south of the 49th must as well ! Comes with J-bolts, bar, etc.
Google 'battery hold down kit'... might only be $20 ?
