MAINTENANCE

Battery

Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion

and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, always

disconnect the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always

connect the negative (black) cable last.

Your vehicle is equipped with a sealed battery, which requires little

maintenance. POLARIS does not recommend using a conventional

battery in this vehicle. The orientation of the battery could result in

electrolyte leakage, which would shorten the life of the battery

considerably.
Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If

cleaning is necessary, remove corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash

with a solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse

well with tap water and dry off with clean shop towels. Coat the

terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.

Battery Removal

1. Remove the front rack.
2. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.
3. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable last.
4. Disconnect the battery hold-down strap.
5. Lift the battery out of the vehicle.
