Taking Care of the Unexpected
231
If the Battery Is Low (or Dead)
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.
1. Shift the shift lever in neutral position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” (
q
) position.
4. Use the recoil starter (page 86) 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 dealer.
