8.20. BATTERY
Your ATV battery is located in a compartment under
the seat. The battery is sealed, so it is not
necessary to check the electrolyte level or add
distilled water. If the battery seems weak, see your
authorized KYMCO dealer for information on
recharging or replacement. If you replace the
battery, choose one that is sealed and equivalent to
the original. Be sure to read and follow all safety
precautions indicated on the battery.
CAUTION:
• Do not attempt to remove the caps from the
battery cells as this may damage the battery.
• Although the battery is sealed, it vents explosive
gases and should be handled with appropriate
care.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Allowing open flames or sparks near the battery.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Gases may explode and possibly cause injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not allow open flames or sparks near the battery.
NOTE:
• When the ATV is to be stored for an extended
period, remove the battery from the vehicle and
charge it fully. Then store it in a cool, dry place. If
the battery is to be left on the vehicle, disconnect
the negative cable from the battery terminal.
• Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands
after handling.
