Even though the vehicle has been set up (with some
minor exceptions) and inspected at the factory, EVERY
vehicle must be properly inspected and serviced at the
dealership prior to being released to the customer. Expe-
rience has shown that dealerships that properly prepare
each ATV have fewer warranty problems and more satis-
fied customers.

Servicing Battery
These ATVs are shipped with a sealed battery. The bat-
tery requires an initial charge after activation as well as
periodic maintenance-charging during periods of non-use
or storage.
Always activate and maintain the battery in accordance
with the following instructions to ensure maximum ser-
vice life and performance from the battery.
NOTE: Refer to all warnings and cautions provided
with the battery.
Each sealed battery comes with an electrolyte container
and proper amount for each specific battery type. DO
NOT add additional electrolyte to any sealed battery.
Sealed battery electrolyte has a higher concentration of
sulfuric acid.
1. Carefully remove and save the sealing strip from the
battery electrolyte container. This will be used to seal
the battery later.
2. Remove and discard the foil sealing strip covering
the fill holes from the battery.
3. Place electrolyte container with the foil-sealed top of
the cells facing down into the fill ports of the battery.
4. Hold the container level in the fill ports of the bat-
tery. Push down to break the seals. Air bubbles will
appear as the ports fill. Do not tilt the electrolyte
container. Do not remove the container from the bat-
tery until it is empty.
5. From the following chart (or located on the battery),
determine the correct Amp/Hr rating of the battery.
