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.

See page 118.

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 128

for the part numbers of

Polaris products.

Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery)

A poorly maintained battery will

deteriorate rapidly. Check the bat-

tery 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.
