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 trickle charger or
by charging about once a month to make up for normal self discharge. The
battery trickle charger can be left connected during the storage period, and will
automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a predetermined
point.
