MAINTENANCE

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 Bat-

tery 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 118

for the part numbers

of Polaris products.

Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery)

Check the battery fluid level often.

Maintain the fluid level between the

upper and lower level marks.
Add only distilled water. Tap water

contains minerals that are harmful to

a battery.
