To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the battery as soon
as possible if it seems to have discharged. Keep in
mind that the battery tends to discharge more
quickly if the ATV is equipped with optional electri-
cal accessories.
NOTICE
ECB00930
To charge a VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid)
battery, a special (constant-voltage) battery
charger is required. Using a conventional bat-
tery charger will damage the battery. If you do
not have access to a constant-voltage battery
charger, have a Yamaha dealer charge your
battery.
To store the battery
● If the ATV will not be used for more than one
month, remove the battery, fully charge it, and
then place it in a cool, dry place.
● If the battery will be stored for more than two
months, check it at least once a month and fully
charge it if necessary.
NOTICE
ECB00940
Always keep the battery charged. Storing a dis-
charged battery can cause permanent battery
damage.
