Servicing Your Honda 189
Electrical
Battery
Your ATV has a maintenance-free type battery. You do not have to
check the battery electrolyte level or add distilled water as you would
with a conventional-type battery.
NOTICE
Your battery is a maintenance-free type and can be permanently
damaged if the cap strip is removed.
Electrical accessories use current from the battery, even when the
ignition is OFF (
w
). Limited operation also allows the battery to
discharge.
If you have electrical accessories on your ATV or do not ride
frequently, we recommend that you charge the battery frequently
(see
Battery Charging , page 193).
If you do not expect to ride your ATV for at least two weeks, we
recommend you remove the battery, or at least disconnect the
battery cables (negative cable first).
If you plan to store your ATV, see Battery Storage , page 190.
If your battery seems weak and/or is leaking electrolyte (causing slow
starting or other electrical problems), see your dealer.
NOTICE
An improperly disposed of battery can be harmful to the
environment and human health.
Always confirm local regulations for battery disposal.
This symbol on the battery means that this product must
not be treated as household waste.
