Always keep battery terminals and connections free of corrosion. To clean,

POLARIS dealer.
WARNING
Handling batteries and electrical components improperly can result in serious
injury or death. Do not attempt to remove batteries or battery cables. Always
see your dealer for battery-related service.

fluid level often. Add only distilled
water. Tap water contains minerals
that are harmful to a battery.

added to a battery after charging. If the
plates
e
are exposed, add water to
about 1/8 inch (3 mm) above the
plates, then charge. Check the fluid
level again after charging. Maintain the
