Start by removing the rubber connector protectors from both the battery and the board.

Use the side handles to carry the battery to the board. To place the battery into its proper slot in the center of the board, hold the battery’s front and rear ends.

Note that the battery is designed to fit securely in place and some extra pressure from your palm may be needed.

Once the battery is in place, turn all of the lock rings clockwise. Try to apply pressure around each lock at a time as you turn them into place.

The battery is properly connected to the board once all 3 lock rings are tightened.

Note that, when properly connected, the battery should not be loose in any way. If you suspect that the battery is not locked correctly, DO NOT take the board into the water.
