Battery
Battery Rem oval
1. Disconnect the hold-down strap holding the battery in position, and
remove battery cover.
2. Remove the battery vent tube.
3. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.
4. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable next.
5. Lift the battery out of the ATV. Be careful not to tip the battery
sideways, which could spill electrolyte.
CAUTION
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 Installation
1. Set the battery in the battery holder.
2. Install the battery vent tube.
NOTE: The vent tube must be free of obstructions and securely
installed. If not, battery gases could accumulate and cause
an explosion. The tube should be routed away from the
frame and body to prevent corrosion. Avoid skin contact with
electrolyte, which can cause severe burns.
3. First connect and tighten the red (positive) cable.
4. Second connect and tighten the black (negative) cable.
5. Reinstall the battery cover and attach the hold-down strap.
6. Veri fy that cables are properly routed.
NOTE: When installing a new battery, make sure it’s fully charged
prior to its initial use. 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.
