MAINTENANCE
Battery
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains sulfuric acid. Serious burns can
result from contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Antidote:
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia,
beaten egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician immediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away.
Ventilate when charging or using in an enclosed space. Always shield eyes
when working near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Your vehicle may have either a sealed battery, which requires little
maintenance, or a conventional battery. A sealed battery can be
identified by its flat covers on the top of the battery. A conventional
battery has six filler caps on the top of the battery.
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. Be careful not to
allow cleaning solution or tap water into a conventional 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, please see your POLARIS dealer. Ask your dealer to
provide any installation procedures that may differ for an extreme use
battery.
