5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.

at the front and rear of the battery.
8. Close and secure the front box and cover.
BATTERY STORAGE
Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more, remove
the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the
sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and
recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.
POLARIS recommends maintaining battery charge by using a POLARIS Battery
Tender charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal
self-discharge. Battery Tender can be left connected during the storage period,
and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a
pre-determined point. See the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.
BATTERY CHARGING
The following battery charging instructions apply only to the installation of a
sealed battery. Read all instructions before proceeding with the installation of
this battery.
The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully
charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add any other fluid to this
battery.
The single most important thing about maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it
fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be
removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage.
WARNING
An overheated battery may explode, causing severe injury or death. Always
watch charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very
warm to the touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.
