MAINTENANCE

Battery

Battery Storage

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more,

remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it’s fully charged, and

store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each

month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

NOTE: Power plug leads may need to be bent down so that the

battery cover can be installed.

NOTE: Battery charge can be maintained by using a Polaris Battery

Tender charger or by charging about once a month to make

up for normal self-discharge. Battery Tender can be left

connected during the storage period, and will automatically

charge the battery if the voltage drops below a

pre-determined point. See page 107 for the part numbers of

Polaris products.

Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery)

A poorly maintained battery will

deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery

fluid level often. Maintain the fluid

level between the upper and lower level

marks (1).
Add only distilled water. Tap water

contains minerals that are harmful to a

battery.
