Maintenance

Battery

The battery in your Polaris ATV is a sealed battery. The sealing strip cannot be removed.

Never add water 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.

WARNING

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.
