6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.

at the front and rear of the battery.

BATTERY STORAGE
Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more, remove
the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the
sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and
recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.
POLARIS recommends maintaining battery charge by using a POLARIS Battery
Tender charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-
discharge. Battery Tender can be left connected during the storage period, and
will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-determined
point. See page 93 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.
TIP
Power plug leads may need to be bent down so that the battery cover can be
installed.
BATTERY FLUID (CONVENTIONAL BATTERY)
A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery fluid level
often. Maintain the fluid level between the upper
q
and lower
w
level marks.
Add only distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that are harmful to a
battery.
