BATTERY REMOVAL
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.
To remove the battery, do the following:
1. Remove the storage bin under the passenger seat to access the battery.
2. Disconnect the black (-) battery cable first. Disconnect the red (+) battery
cable last.
3. Remove the battery hold-down strap.
4. Lift the battery out of the vehicle. Be careful not to tip a flooded battery
sideways, which could spill electrolyte.
NOTICE
If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of one tablespoon
baking soda and one cup water to prevent damage to the vehicle.
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.
TIP
Battery charge can be maintained 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 predetermined
point.
