MAINTENANCE Battery Battery Storage Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more, remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge. See page 84. Tip: Battery charge can be maintained by using a POLARIS Battery Tender charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-discharge. Battery Tender can be left connected during the storage period, and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-determined point. See page 94 for the part numbers of POLARIS products. Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery) A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery fluid level often. Maintain the fluid level between the upper and lower level marks. Add only distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that are harmful to a battery. Lower Mark Upper Mark 83

Battery Storage
Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more,
remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and
store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each
month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.
See page 84.
Tip:
Battery charge can be maintained by using a POLARIS Battery Tender
charger or by charging about once a month to make up for normal self-dis-
charge. Battery Tender can be left connected during the storage period, and
will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a pre-deter-
mined point. See page 94 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.
Battery Fluid (Conventional Battery)
A poorly maintained battery will
deteriorate rapidly. Check the bat-
tery fluid level often. Maintain the
fluid level between the upper and
lower level marks.
Add only distilled water. Tap water
contains minerals that are harmful
to a battery.
