BATTERY INSTALLATION

Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the battery and
result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance. Follow the battery
charging instructions on page 83 before installing the battery.

An optional extreme use battery may be available for your model. If the
performance of the factory-installed battery is inadequate due to operation in
extreme cold or due to extended use of multiple electrical accessories, your
dealer can assist. Your dealer can provide any installation procedures that may
differ for an extreme use battery.

1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

2. Place the battery in the battery holder.

3. On conventional batteries, install the battery vent tube (sealed batteries do

not have a vent tube). The vent tube must be free of obstructions and
securely installed. Route the tube away from the frame and vehicle body to
prevent contact with electrolyte.

WARNING

Battery gases could accumulate in an improperly installed vent tube and cause

an explosion, resulting in serious injury or death. Always ensure that the vent

tube is free of obstructions and is securely installed as recommended.

4. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.

5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.

6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.

7. Install the battery hold-down strap and tighten the screws.

8. Verify that cables are properly routed.

9. Reinstall the seat.

BATTERY STORAGE

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more, remove
the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the
sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and
recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

TIP

Battery charge can be maintained by using a Battery Tender charger or by

charging about once a month to make up for normal self discharge. Battery

Tender can be left connected during the storage period, and will automatically

charge the battery if the voltage drops below a predetermined point.
