MAINTENANCE
Battery
Battery Installation
3. On conventional batteries, coat the terminals with dielectric grease
or petroleum jelly.
4. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first. Connect and
tighten the black (negative) cable last.
5. Install the battery cover (if equipped). Secure the battery hold-down
strap.
6. Verify that cables are properly routed. Cables should be safely
tucked away at the front and rear of the battery.
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 page 126 for the
part numbers of POLARIS products.
