MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Battery
The YUASA sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully
charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add any other fluid to this battery.
Keep 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.
Battery Removal
1. Remove the rear cab (see page 123) and disconnect the strap securing the battery in
position.
2. Disconnect the black (negative) cable first, then disconnect the red (positive) cable.
3. Lift the battery out of the ATV.
Improperly connecting or disconnecting battery cables can result in an explosion and
cause serious injury or death. When removing a battery, always disconnect the negative
(black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery, always connect the negative cable last.
