MAINTENANCE
Battery
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion
and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, always
disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always
connect the negative (black) cable last.
Your ATV is equipped with a sealed battery, which requires little main-
tenance. POLARIS does not recommend using a conventional battery in
this vehicle. The orientation of the battery could result in electrolyte
leakage, which would shorten the life of the battery considerably.
Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If
cleaning is necessary, remove corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash
with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse
well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the termi-
nals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
Battery Removal
1. Remove the front rack.
2. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.
3. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable last.
4. Disconnect the battery hold-down strap.
5. Lift the battery out of the ATV.
