    Tekna DV-3X battery replacement

    Just picked up a Tekna DV-3X. The unit has been sitting for a long time and the battery no longer takes a charge. The charger itsself is good as it charges another Tenkna DPV.

    After taking off the head light nose, there are 4 large phillips screws. It looks like those need to come off next but turning them doesn't seem to draw them out.

    I think the more something is made out of plastic, the greater need for me to have an owners manual or repair manual. Does the owners manual give instructions on battery replacement? Where can a repair and owners manual be found??

    Thanks

    Tom

    6 flat head screw under rubber bumper to remove nose cone
    4 Phillips screws to remove top bulkhead
    Unbolt the battery terminals remove
    4 gray rod spacers
    Remove middle bulkhead
    Remove batteries.
    Reverse to install

    You will need to replace the catalysts (will be either white powdery belts wrapped around the battery pack or whit round stone looking pieces) they are only good for one set of batteries. I have them in stock .along with anything else you need.
