MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
rmo2013-003-032_a
Battery Charging
The
vehicle
is
equipped
with
a
maintenance-free type battery and
is completely sealed; there is no need
to add water to adjust the electrolyte
level. The battery may need to be
charged if the vehicle has not been
ridden for at least one month.
Always have the battery replaced by an
authorized Can-Am roadster dealer.
WARNING
Do not use conventional lead-acid
type batteries as the battery is
installed sideways on the vehi-
cle. Acid may leak out through
the battery vent of a conventional
lead-acid type battery. Acid may
also leak if the battery case is
cracked or damaged, which can
cause severe burns.
The battery can be charged while it is
installed on the vehicle.
NOTICE
Follow the instructions
provided with your battery charger.
Improper charging may damage the
battery.
To charge the battery, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Open the front storage compart-
ment.
2. Remove the service cover.
3. First connect the POSITIVE (+) cable
to the corresponding terminal.
4. Connect the NEGATIVE (-) cable to
the corresponding terminal.
NOTICE
Always connect the POS-
ITIVE (+) cable first to avoid damag-
ing the electrical system of the vehi-
cle.

1. NEGATIVE (-) terminal
2. POSITIVE (+) terminal
5. Start the battery charger. Charging
time will depend on the charging
rate.
When the battery is charged:
6. First disconnect the NEGATIVE (-)
cable.
7. Disconnect the POSITIVE (+) cable.
NOTICE
Always
disconnect
the
NEGATIVE (-) cable first to avoid
damaging the electrical system of
the vehicle.
8. Close the service cover and the
front storage compartment.
A standard battery charger can be
used. The recommended charge rate
is 2 A. If the battery is dead, it can be
jump started with a car battery (see
ROADSIDE REPAIRS
section).
For home charging, a “trickle” charger
can be used to slowly charge the bat-
tery. This type of charger can be left
connected for a long period of time
without damaging the battery. Always
follow the charging time as recom-
mended in the charger instructions.
