Battery Removal

1. Remove the passenger seat and the seat pivot bolt.
2. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.
3. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable last.
4. Disconnect the battery hold-down strap.
5. On conventional batteries, remove the battery vent tube.
6. Lift the battery out of the ATV. Be careful not to tip a conventional

battery sideways, which could spill electrolyte.

NOTICE:

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.
