2. Remove the drain plug. Allow the water to drain completely. Reinstall the drain plug.

3. Start the engine. Place the transmission in PARK.

4. Apply varying throttle for 10-15 seconds to expel the moisture and air-dry the belt and clutches. Do not hold the throttle wide open for more than 5 seconds.

5. Allow the engine RPM to settle to idle speed, then shift the transmission to low range.

6. Test for belt slippage. If the belt slips, repeat the process. Your vehicle requires service as soon as possible, which your authorized dealer can provide.

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. Follow the battery charging instructions in the Battery Charging sections before installing the battery.

An optional extreme use battery may be available for your model. If the performance of the factory-installed battery is inadequate due to operation in extreme cold or due to extended use of multiple electrical accessories, please see your POLARIS dealer. Ask your dealer to provide any installation procedures that may differ for an extreme use battery.

1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.

2. Place the 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.

4. On conventional batteries, coat the terminals with dielectric grease or petroleum jelly.

5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.

6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.

7. Install the battery cover (if equipped).

8. Secure the battery hold-down strap.

9. Verify that cables are properly routed. Cables should be safely tucked away at the front and rear of the battery.

1. Disconnect the battery hold-down strap.

2. Remove the battery cover (if equipped).

3. On conventional batteries, remove the battery vent tube.

4. Disconnect the black (negative) battery cable first.

5. Disconnect the red (positive) battery cable last.

6. Lift the battery out of the ATV. Be careful not to tip a conventional battery sideways, which could spill electrolyte.

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.

POLARIS recommends maintaining battery charge by using a POLARIS Battery Tender charger or by charging once a month using the battery tender port 1. 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 the Polaris Products section for the part numbers.

• A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery fluid level often. Maintain the fluid level between the upper 1 and lower level 2 marks.

• Add only distilled water. Tap water contains minerals that are harmful to a battery.

1. Remove the battery from the vehicle to prevent damage from leaking or spilled electrolyte during charging.

2. Charge the battery with a charging output no larger than 1/10 of the battery’s amp/hr rating. Charge as needed to raise the specific gravity to 1.270 or greater.

3. Reinstall the battery. Make sure the positive terminal is toward the front of the vehicle.

The following battery charging instructions apply only to the installation of a sealed battery. Read all instructions before proceeding with the installation of this battery.

The sealed battery is already filled with electrolyte and has been sealed and fully charged at the factory. Never pry the sealing strip off or add any other fluid to this battery.

The single most important thing about maintaining a sealed battery is to keep it fully charged. Since the battery is sealed and the sealing strip cannot be removed, you must use a voltmeter or multimeter to measure DC voltage.

For a refresh charge, follow all instructions carefully.

1. Check the battery voltage with a voltmeter or multimeter. A fully charged battery will register 12.8 V or higher.

2. If the voltage is less than 12.8 volts, recharge the battery at 1.2 amps or less until battery voltage is 12.8 or greater.

Always verify battery condition before and 1-2 hours after the end of charging.
