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:

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)

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.
