Maintenance

Battery

The battery in your Polaris ATV is a sealed lead acid type battery. The sealing strip cannot

be removed. Water must not be added to this type of battery.
Keep the battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. If cleaning is necessary,

remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash with a solution of one tablespoon

baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap water and dry off with clean shop

towels. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.

Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion

and cause serious injury or death. When removing the battery, always disconnect

the negative (black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always connect the

negative (black) cable last.
