Battery Inspection / Removal
The battery is located under the front cab at the front of the ATV.
Removal of the front cab assembly is required to access the
battery. Refer to “Chapter 5” for front cab removal.
To remove the battery:
1.
Remove the front cab.
2.
Disconnect holder strap.
3.
Disconnect battery negative (–) (black) cable first,
followed by the positive (+) (red) cables.
4.
Remove the battery.
5.
Clean battery cables and terminals with a stiff wire brush.
Corrosion can be removed using a solution of one cup water
and one tablespoon baking soda. Rinse well with clean
water and dry thoroughly. Test battery for condition and
charge accordingly.
6.
If required, charge battery at 1/10 of its amp/hour rating.
Example: 1/10 of 14 amp battery = 1.4 amp
7.
Reinstall battery, attaching positive (+) (red) cable first and
then the negative (–) (black) cable.
8.
Coat terminals and bolt threads with Dielectric Grease (
PN
2871329
).
9.
Reinstall battery cover, holder strap and front cab.
Battery Terminals / Bolts
Ensure battery terminals are clean of corrosion. Use Polaris
corrosion resistant Dielectric Grease (
PN 2871329
) on battery
bolts.
Off Season Storage
To prevent battery damage during extended periods of non–use,
the following basic battery maintenance items must be
performed:
• Remove the battery from the machine and wash the
case and battery tray with a mild solution of baking
soda and water. Rinse with fresh water after cleaning.
NOTE: Do not get any of the baking soda into the
battery or the acid will be neutralized.
• Using a wire brush or knife, remove any corrosion from
the cables and terminals.
•
Never add water to a sealed maintenance free
battery.
• Charge at a rate no greater than 1/10 of the battery’s
amp/hr capacity until the open circuit voltage is 12.9V
or greater.
• Store the battery either in the machine with the cables
disconnected, or store in a cool place.
Engine- To- Frame Ground
Inspect engine–to–frame ground cable connection. Be sure it is
clean and tight.
Charging Procedure
NOTE:
Remote charging terminals have been
provided to allow for battery charging without
removal of the front cab.
1.
Attach the Positive battery charging cable to the Red
Charge Terminal (A); which is directly connected to the
positive battery terminal. It is located just above the front
right shock mount.
2.
Attach the Negative battery charging cable to the free end
of the Black Cable (B) under the right front cab (which is
directly connected to the negative battery terminal).
CAUTION
To reduce the chance of sparks: Whenever
removing the battery, disconnect the
negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling
the battery, install the negative cable last.
