WARNING
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 maintenance.
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 terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum
jelly.
BATTERY REMOVAL
1. Access the battery under the front box.
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.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the battery and
result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance. Follow the
instructions in the Battery Charging section before installing the battery.
An optional extreme use battery may be available for your model. If the
performance of the factory-installed battery is inadequate due to operation in
extreme cold or due to extended use of multiple electrical accessories, your
authorized dealer can assist. Your dealer can provide any installation
procedures that may differ for an extreme use battery.
1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Place the battery in the battery holder.
3. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
4. Secure the battery hold-down strap.
5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.
