Get rid of the interconnecting links one by one.

The output of the UPS will most likely be connected into an automatic switching panel - just conectors with their sensing coils connected accross opposing circuits.

just find the panel it goes into it and isolate from there
Before you switch off the mains isolator you had better

1- switch off the battery charging circuit
2- isolate the batteries
