MAINTENANCE
BATTERY INSTALLATION

2. Reinstall the battery hold down strap fastener and torque to specification.
3. Attach battery cables to battery. Torque to specification.
850 High Lifter: Attach positive red starter cable and red harness wire to the
positive terminal, then black chassis ground to negative terminal with Battery
Bolt Kit (PN 2201357).
1000 High Lifter: Attach positive red starter cable, red harness wire, and red
winch cable to the positive terminal, then black chassis ground and black
winch ground to negative terminal with Battery Bolt Kit (PN 2201357).
Ensure the cables are not pinched or kinked and make sure the cable
orientation is such that the battery cover installs with no cable interference.
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.
POLARIS recommends maintaining battery charge 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 the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.
