MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Battery
1. Set the battery in its holder.
2. Install the battery vent tube. It must be free from obstructions and
securely installed. If not, battery gases could accumulate and cause an
explosion. The tube should be routed away from the frame and body
to prevent corrosion. Avoid skin contact with electrolyte, severe
burns could result.
3. First connect and tighten the red (positive) cable.
4. Second connect and tighten the black (negative) cable.
5. Reinstall battery and battery strap.
6. Verify that cables are properly routed.
NOTE:
When your ATV is placed in storage for three months or more, the
battery should be removed, charged to proper level, and stored in a
cool dry place.
Before reusing, take the battery to your dealer for testing and re-
charging.
Power plug leads may need to be bent down so that the battery cov-
er may be installed.
When installing a new battery, make certain it is fully charged prior
to it’s initial use. Using a new battery that has not been fully
charged can damage the battery resulting in a shorter life of the
battery. It can also hinder vehicle performance.
