MAINTENANCE
If electrolyte spills, immediately wash it off with a solution of one tablespoon
baking soda and one cup water to prevent damage to the vehicle.
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.
If your factory-installed 26 AH battery cannot maintain a charge because of
operation in extreme cold or with multiple electrical accessories, please see your
POLARIS dealer to purchase a 53 AH battery. Before installing the 53AH or 26
Ah battery into the machine, ensure the caps (if equipped) are removed from the
battery terminals. Premium battery cables and a battery hold strap may be
required.
1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Place the fully charged battery in the battery holder.
3. With conventional batteries, install the battery vent tube (sealed batteries do
not have a vent tube). The vent tube must be free of obstructions and
securely installed. Route the tube away from the frame and vehicle body to
prevent contact with electrolyte.
Battery gases could accumulate in an improperly installed vent tube and cause
an explosion, resulting in serious injury or death. Always ensure that the vent
tube is free of obstructions and is securely installed as recommended.
4. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.
5. Connect and tighten the red (+) cable first. Connect and tighten the black (-)
cable last.
6. Verify that cables are properly routed. Cables should be safely tucked away
at the front and rear of the battery.
7. Install the battery hold-down strap.
