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 94.
NOTE: 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 106 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.
