Battery Installation

Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the
battery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle
performance. Follow the battery charging instructions on page 121
before installing the battery.
1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Place the battery in the battery holder.
3. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
4. Secure the battery hold-down strap.
5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.
6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.
7. Verify that cables are properly routed.
8. Reinstall the driver's seat.

Battery Storage

Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more,
recharge the battery about once a month to make up for normal self-
discharge (see page 121), or use a POLARIS Battery Tender, which can
be left connected during the storage period. Battery Tender will
automatically charge the battery if voltage drops below a pre-
determined point. See page 134 for the part numbers of POLARIS
products.
During the storage period, park the vehicle out of the sun in a cool, dry
place or remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
