MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Battery Charging
The vehicle is equipped with a main-
tenance-free type battery and is com-
pletely 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 convention-
al 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. The battery
terminals are located under the seat.
NOTICE
Follow the instructions
provided with your battery charger.
Improper charging may damage the
battery.
To charge the battery, proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Unlatch and lift the seat.
2. First connect the POSITIVE (+) ca-
ble to the corresponding terminal.
3. 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
4. Start the battery charger. Charging
time will depend on the charging
rate.
When the battery is charged:
5. First disconnect the NEGATIVE (-)
cable.
6. Disconnect the POSITIVE (+) cable.
NOTICE
Always
disconnect
the
NEGATIVE (-) cable first to avoid
damaging the electrical system of
the vehicle.
7. Close the seat and ensure that it is
latched.
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 (p. 92).
For home charging, a “trickle” charger
can be used to slow 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’s instructions.
Clutch Fluid Level
Verification
Check the clutch fluid level when the
clutch does not operate normally or
when it is difficult to shift gears with
the gearshift lever.
