BATTERY LOAD TEST
CAUTION: To prevent shock or component
damage, remove spark plug high tension leads
and connect securely to engine ground before
proceeding.
NOTE: This test can only be performed on machines
with electric starters. This test cannot be performed
with an engine or starting system that is not working
properly.
A battery may indicate a full charge condition in the OCV
test and the specific gravity test, but still may not have
the storage capacity necessary to properly function in
the electrical system. For this reason, a battery capacity
or load test should be conducted whenever poor battery
performance is encountered. To perform this test, hook
a multitester to the battery in the same manner as was
done in the OCV test. The reading should be 12.6 volts
or greater. Engage the starter and observe the battery
voltage while cranking the engine. Continue the test for
15 seconds. During cranking the observed voltage
should not drop below 9.5 volts. If the beginning voltage
is 12.6 volts or higher and the cranking voltage drops
below 9.5 volts during the test, replace the battery.

BATTERY OFF--SEASON
STORAGE
To prevent battery damage during extended periods
of non-use, the following basic battery maintenance
items must be performed:
G
Remove the battery from the machine
and wash the case and battery tray
with a mild solution of baking soda
and water. Rinse with lots of fresh
water after cleaning.
G
Using a wire brush or knife, remove any
corrosion from the cables and
terminals.
G
Charge at a rate no greater than 1/10 of
the battery’s amp/hr capacity until
the voltage reaches 13.0VDC or
greater.
G
Store the battery either in the machine
with the cables disconnected, or
store in a cool place.
NOTE : Stored batteries lose their charge at the rate
of up to 1% per day. Recharge to full capacity every
30 to 60 days during a non-use period. If the battery
is stored during the winter months, electrolyte will
freeze at higher temperatures as the battery
discharges. The chart below indicates freezing points
by specific gravity.

BATTERY CHARGING
PROCEDURE
1. Remove the battery from the ATV to prevent
damage from leaking or spilled acid during
charging.
2. Charge the battery with a variable rate charging
output. Charge as needed to raise the voltage to
12.8VDC or greater.
3. Install battery in vehicle with positive terminal
toward the front. Coat threads of battery bolt with
a corrosion resistant Nyogel
t
Grease ( PN
2871329 ).
4. Route cables so they are tucked away in front and
behind battery.
5. Connect battery cables.
WARNING
To avoid the possibility of sparks and explosion,
connect positive (red) cable first and negative (black)
cable last.
6. After connecting the battery cables, install the
cover on the battery and attach the hold down
strap.
