negative (black) cable last.
Battery Removal
1. Disconnect the hold-down strap holding the battery in position, and
remove battery cover.

3. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.
4. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable next.
5. Lift the battery out of the ATV. Be careful not to tip a conventional

If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of one
tablespoon baking soda and one cup water to prevent damage to
the vehicle.
