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.

POLARIS recommends maintaining battery charge 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 98

for the part

numbers of POLARIS products.

Tip: Power plug leads may need to be bent down so that the battery cover can

be installed.

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.

Add only distilled water. Tap
water contains minerals that are
harmful to a battery.
