If the Battery Is Low (or Dead)
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Your ATV will operate even if the battery is low (or dead), as long as
the engine is running. If the engine is not running, it may be started
using the recoil starter.
Shift the shift lever in Neutral (N) position.
Apply the parking brake.
Turn the ignition switch to the ‘‘ON’’ (
) position.
Use the recoil starter (page ) to start the engine.
Jump starting is not recommended, especially if you use an automobile
battery. The greater amperage of an automobile battery when the car
engine is running can damage your ATV’s electrical system.
Bump starting is also not recommended.
If you can’t charge the battery or it appears unable to hold a charge,
contact your Honda dealer.
