INSTALLATION

CAUTION:
y Keep the ATV battery clean. If the battery’s posts are corroded and/or are covered with
white powder clean them with warm water.
y If there is obvious corrosion on the battery terminals, disconnect the battery cables and
remove the corrosion with a steel brush.
y If the battery needs to be replaced, replace with a same closed-type battery (Maintenance-
Free).
CAUTION:
y This ATV uses a sealed type (Maintenance-Free) battery; never remove the battery caps.
y In order to prevent electrical leakage and self-discharge when the battery sits idle for long
periods of time, remove the battery from ATV and store it in a well-ventilated and dimly
lighted area. Store battery out of reach of children. If the battery is to be kept on the
ATV, disconnect the battery’s negative cable.
