MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Battery Charging (Sealed Battery)

The battery included with your ATV is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be removed. Use

a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage. A fully charged battery will register 12.8

V or higher. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery. Use the remote

charging terminals under the right front cab. Removing the cab is not necessary.

NOTE: The Polaris Battery Tendert battery charger can be left connected during the

storage period and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below

a pre-determined point.

When using an automatic charger such as the Polaris Battery Tendert, refer to the

manufacturer’s instructions for recharging. When using a constant current charger, use the

guidelines on the following page for recharging.

WARNING

An overheated battery could explode, causing severe injury or death. Always watch

charging times carefully. Stop charging if the battery becomes very warm to the touch.

Allow it to cool before resuming charging.
