MAINTENANCE

Battery

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.

Your vehicle has an automotive-type sealed battery, which requires little
maintenance. Always 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 driver’s seat (RZR/RZR S) or the left rear passenger

2. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.

3. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable last.
