GENERAL MAINTENANCE
BATTERY
The battery is located in a compartment under the hood of your
UXV500. After initial service, batteries require regular cleaning of
the terminals and recharging in order to deliver peak performance
and maximum service life. The procedures listed in this manual
are recommended for cleaning and maintaining MF-sealed type
batteries. Always read and follow instructions provided with bat-
tery chargers and battery products.
NOTE: You can perform your own battery maintenance if
you are qualified to do so. If you do not feel qualified, take
your UTV to an authorized KYMCO UTV dealer for battery
service. As with all other periodic maintenance, you are
responsible to arrange and pay for this service.
Battery service must be performed in an area free of any sparks,
open flame, cigarettes, or any other flame. Always wear safety
glasses. Protect skin and clothing when handing a battery.
When servicing battery in enclosed space, keep the area well-
ventilated.

NOTE: If the battery posts, cable ends, or the battery case
has a buildup of white/green powder residue, apply water
and baking soda to neutralize this acid residue and rinse
with warm soapy water.
5. Use a wire brush to clean the battery posts and cable ends, re-
moving all corrosive buildup. Replace any damaged cables
6. Use a multimeter to test the battery voltage. The voltage for a
fully charged battery should be at least 12.5 DC Volts
7. If the meter indicates low voltage, charge the battery using the
guidelines on the following page
Never remove the caps from the battery to add water or
electrolyte (sulfuric acid) to the battery. The UXV500’s
battery is a MF (maintenance-free) sealed type, so the
removal of the caps and the addition of fluid will cause
severe battery damage.
