4. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.
5. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable last.
6. Lift the battery out of the ATV. Be careful not to tip a conventional

battery sideways, which could spill electrolyte.

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.
