BATTERY MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Battery electrolyte is poisonous. It contains
sulfuric acid. Serious burns can result from
contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Anti-
dote:
External: Flush with water.
Internal: Drink large quantities of water or
milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten
egg, or vegetable oil. Call physician im-
mediately.
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and
get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes, etc. away. Venti-
late when charging or using in an enclosed
space. Always shield eyes when working
near batteries. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN.
NOTE: All Trail Boss ATV batteries are
Maintenance- -Free design and construction. All
Maintenance- -Free batteries are fully charged and
tested at the factory before installation. Expected
shelf life is 6- -8 months depending on storage
conditions. As a general rule before placing the
battery into service, check the battery condition
and charge accordingly .
Maintenance- -Free batteries are permanently
sealed at the time of manufacture. The use of
lead- -calcium and AGM technology instead of
lead- -antimony allows the battery acid to be fully
absorbed. For this reason, a Maintenance- -Free
battery case is dark and the cell caps are not
removable, since there is no need to check
electrolyte level.
NEVER attempt to add electrolyte or water to a
Maintenance- -Free battery. Doing so will damage
the case and shorten the life of the battery. Refer
to the Battery Maintenance Video (PN 9917987) for
proper instruction on servicing Maintenance- -Free
batteries.
The battery is located under the left rear fender.
To remove the battery:
1. Disconnect holder strap (A) and remove cover
(B).
2. Disconnect battery negative (-) (black) cable first,

CAUTION
To reduce the chance of sparks: Whenever
removing the battery, disconnect the negative
(black) cable first. When reinstalling the battery,
install the negative cable last.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Clean battery cables and terminals with a stiff wire
brush. Corrosion can be removed using a
solution of one cup water and one tablespoon
baking soda. Rinse well with clean water and dry
thoroughly.
5. Reinstall battery, attaching positive (+) (red) cable
