Batteries
Battery Access
To access the batteries, remove the seat. See page 36. Remove the stor-
age tray (if equipped).
NOTICE: Before removing the seat to access the batteries, make sure any wire
or metal items (including seat belt latches) remain clear of the battery
compartment to avoid causing a short circuit to the electrical system.
Battery Inspections
Inspect battery terminal connections monthly. Clean batteries as recom-
mended. Using an insulated wrench, torque bolts to 8 ft. lbs. (11 Nm).
Battery Cleaning
Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. To
clean, 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 battery terminals with
dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
NOTICE: Do not allow cleaning solution or tap water to enter the batteries.
Battery Replacement
With proper care and maintenance as outlined in this owner’s manual,
battery life could be extended up to four years or longer, depending on
the amount of use. When battery replacement is necessary, please see
your authorized POLARIS dealer.
WARNING! Handling batteries and electrical components improperly can result
in serious injury or death. Do not attempt to remove batteries or battery cables.
Always see your dealer for battery-related service.
