GENERAL MAINTENANCE
An battery overheated from using an improper battery
charger (constant rate type) or from improper charg-
ing could explode causing severe injury or death. Al-
ways monitor charging times and charge rates carefully.
Stop charging if the battery becomes very warm to the
touch. Allow it to cool before resuming charging.

6. The automatic battery charger will indicate if the charging cycle
is complete. Remove the battery charger and allow the battery
to sit and cool for one hour.
7. Test the battery voltage again. The meter should read at least
12.5 DC Volts. If the voltage is as specified, the battery is ready
to be reinstalled in the ATV.
NOTE: If voltage in step 9 is below specifications, charge the
battery again and retest. If the voltage is proper, then the bat-
tery can be reinstalled in the ATV.
8. Reinstall the battery into the battery compartment and apply a light
coat of dielectric grease on the battery posts and cable ends.
9. Connect the battery cables (positive cable first) and reattach
the battery hold-down.
Before reconnecting the battery, make sure the ATV’s
ignition switch is in the OFF position. Connecting the
battery cables in reverse (positive to negative and nega-
tive to positive) can cause serious damage to the elec-
trical system.
3. Use a wire brush to clean the battery posts and cable ends,
removing all corrosive buildup. Replace any damaged cables.
4. Use a multimeter to test the battery voltage. The voltage for a
fully charged battery should be at least 12.5 DC Volts
NOTE: If the meter indicates the proper voltage, the bat-
tery may be reinstalled in the ATV (see step 8).
5. If the meter indicates low voltage, charge the battery using an
automatic battery charger specifically designed to be used on
maintenance-free type batteries.
Never use remove the sealed caps from your ATV’s MF-
type battery. This will disturb the chemical balance of
the battery and reduce it’s electrical output. It will also
expose you to battery acid. Battery acid is harmful if it
contacts eyes, skin, or clothing. Extreme care must be
taken whenever handling a battery.
NOTE: When using an automatic battery charger, always
follow the charger manufacturer's instructions.
Your ATV is equipped with a specific spark plug (see the speci-
fications chart for the correct spark plug). The appearance of
the insulator on a used spark plug will help determine if it is the
proper one for your ATV. A light brown insulator indicates that
the spark plug is correct. A white or dark insulator indicates
that the engine may need to be serviced or the carburetor may
need to be adjusted. Consult an authorized KYMCO ATV dealer
if the plug insulator is not proper.
