MAINTENANCE Battery Battery Installation NOTICE: 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. Always install a fully charged battery. 1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged. 2. Place the battery in the battery holder. Make sure the positive terminal is toward the passenger side of the vehicle. 3. Install the battery vent tube and route it down in front of the shift cable, into the left front wheel well. 4. Route the vent tube through the hole in the frame support from the back side and place it behind the wheel well panel. NOTICE: Route the vent tube as shown to prevent electrolyte from damaging critical components such as the wire harness, brake lines and throttle cable. 5. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly. 6. Connect and tighten the red positive (+) cable first. 7. Connect and tighten the black negative (-) cable last. 8. Verify that cables are properly routed. 9. Install the hold-down strap. Vent Tube Shift Cable Through hole in frame Behind Panel 88
MAINTENANCE 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. See page 90. 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 100 for the part numbers of Polaris products. Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery) A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery fluid level often. Maintain the fluid level between the upper and lower level marks. Add only distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that are harmful to a battery. Lower Mark Upper Mark 89
