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.
6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.
7. Verify that cables are properly routed. Cables should be safely tucked away
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
trickle charger or by charging once a month using the battery charge port. The
Polaris offered battery trickle charger 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 or contact your dealer for the
part number.
IMPORTANT
Polaris recommends using a trickle charger that shuts off automatically when
the battery is fully charged. If you are not using a trickle charger that
automatically shuts when the battery is fully charged, make sure to monitor the
battery charge level and disconnect the charger when the battery is fully
charged.
CAUTION
When using a battery trickle charger, always place the charger on the ground,
or on a suitable elevated surface. Never place the charger on the vehicle or let
it hang from the battery charge port while plugged in.
