4. Always connect the charger to the vehicle first, then plug the charger into a wall receptacle. Make sure each charger uses a dedicated circuit to prevent over­loading.
Tip: After the batteries have fully recharged, the battery charger will automati-
cally cycle in and out of the trickle charge mode to maintain the charge.
5. When disconnecting the charger, always disconnect the charger from the wall receptacle first, then disconnect the charger from the vehicle.
NOTE: Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for further details.

MAINTENANCE
Batteries
Battery Fluid
A poorly maintained battery will deteriorate rapidly. Check the battery fluid level often.
Add only distilled water . Tap water contains minerals that are harmful to a battery.
Batteries should always be watered after charging unless plates are exposed before charging. If exposed, plates should be covered by approxi­mately 1/8” of water. Check level after charge. The level should be kept 1/4” below the bottom of the fill well in the cell cover.

WARRANTY
LIMITED WARRANTY
Polaris Sales Inc., 2100 Highway 55, Medina, MN 55340, gives a TWO YEAR LIM­ITED WARRANTY on all components of your Polaris vehicle against defects in mate­rial or workmanship. This warranty covers the parts and labor charges for repair or replacement of defective parts which are covered by this warranty. This warranty begins on the date of purchase. This warranty is transfer able to another consumer during the warranty period through a Polaris dealer. The warranty coverage ends two years from the date of purchase.
REGISTRATION
At the time of sale, the Warranty Registration Form must be completed by your dealer and submitted to Polaris within ten days. Upon receipt of this registration, Polaris will record the registration for warranty. No verification of registration will be sent to the purchaser as the copy of the Warranty Registration Form will be the warranty entitle­ment. If you have not signed the original registration and received the customer copy, please contact your dealer immediately. NO WARRANTY COVERAGE WILL BE ALLOWED UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH POLARIS.
Initial dealer preparation and set-up of your vehicle is very important in ensuring trou­ble-free operation. Purchasing a machine in the crate or with out proper dealer set-up will void your warranty coverage.
90
WARRANTY
LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES
The Polaris limited warranty excludes any failures that are not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. This warranty does not cover accidental damage, normal wear and tear, abuse or improper handling. This warranty also does not cover any vehicle that has been altered structurally, modified, neglected, improperly maintained, used for rac­ing, or used for purposes other than for which it was manufactured, or for any damages which occur during trailer transit or as a result of unauthorized service or the use of unauthorized parts. In addition, this warranty does not cover physical dama ge to paint or finish, stress cracks, tearing or puncturing of upholstery material, corrosion, or defects in parts, components or the vehicle due to fire, explosions or any other cause beyond Polaris' control.
The Polaris limited warranty excludes any battery failures that are not caused by a defect in material or workmanship. Warranty claims for battery replacements require specific testing as outlined by the Polaris Warranty Depa r tment and the battery manufacturer U.S. Battery prior to replacement. If the Polaris Wa rranty Department in conjunction with U.S. Battery determines that the failure of th e bat tery is ca used by a de fect in m ate­rial or workmanship, Polaris will assist with the processing of the warranty claim through U.S. Battery for a replacement battery. This warranty does not cover the time required to test and/or diagnose issues with the battery . Consequential damage caused by defective batteries are excluded from this warranty. Use of any charger not recom­mended by Polaris and/or modifications to the vehicle will void any stated or implied warranty on the battery. Battery warranty limitations include abuse or neglect such as improper fluid levels, loose wiring, or rusted or corroded hardware; Lack of proper maintenance; Damage caused by improper installation of the battery; Neglect, breakage, freezing, fire, explosion, wreckage, the addition of any chemical, operation of the bat­tery in an overcharged condition, or the operation of the battery in an uncharged condi­tion (below half-charge – 1.200 specific gravity); and a battery charged by systems o ther than those supplied or recommended by Polaris.
This warranty does not cover the use of unauthorized lubricants, che micals, or fuels that are not compatible with the vehicle. Th e exclusive remedy for breach of this warranty shall be, at Polaris' exclusive option, repair or replacement of any defective materials, or components or products. THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY ARE THE ONLY REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. POLARIS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO ANY PERSON FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OF ANY DESCRIP­TION, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE THIS EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, AND SPECIAL DAM­AGES IS INDEPENDENT FROM AND SHALL SURVIVE ANY FINDING THAT THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. Some states do not permit the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or implied warranties, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you if incon­sistent with controlling state law.
91
WARRANTY
LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES
U.S. Battery’s liability shall be to replace the defective battery. Replacement shall mean furnishing a new battery or used battery with sufficient life to complete the warranty term, which is incidental or reasonably equivalent to the warranted product at no cost to the purchaser during the replacement period.
ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE ABOVE TWO YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. POLARIS FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS WA RRANTY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply
to you if inconsistent with controlling state law
.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
If your vehicle requires warranty service, you must take it to a Polaris Servicing Dealer. When requesting warranty service you must present your copy of the Warranty Registra­tion form to the dealer. (THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE DEALER IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY). Polaris suggests that you use your original selling dealer; however, you may use any Polaris Servicing Dealer to perform warranty service.
Please work with your dealer to resolve any warranty issues. Should your dealer require any additional assistance they will contact the appropriate person at Polaris.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
If any of the above terms are void because of state or federal law, all other warranty terms will remain in effect.
Lubricants
1. Mixing oil brands or using non-recommended oil may cause engine damage. We rec­ommend the use of Polaris gearcase oil.
2. Damage resulting from the use of non-recommended lubricants may not be covered by warranty.
