FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Batteries

This vehicle is equipped with eight 12-volt batteries that supply the power needed to operate the vehicle. The batteries are located under the seat. See page 73 for battery access instructions.

Always observe all battery safety warnings and safe handling procedures as outlined on vehicle safety labels and in this manual. Refer to the battery maintenance section beginning on page 71.

Battery Handling Precautions

• Always make sure that all electrical accessories are grounded directly to the negative (-) post on the terminal board. Never use the chassis or body as a ground connection.

• Always keep battery terminals and connections clean and free of corrosion at all times. See page 73.

• Always maintain a full charge on the batteries. For best battery life, avoid discharging the batteries more than 80%. See page 25.

• Make sure new batteries are fully charged before using.

• New deep cycle batteries need to be cycled several times before reaching full capacity (50-125 cycles, depending on type). Capacity will be limited during this time.

• Make sure vent caps are installed properly and securely during vehicle operation and battery charging.

• Recharge batteries fully at the end of each day the vehicle is operated, allowing adequate time for the charger to complete its charge cycle. The batteries in this vehicle do not have a “memory effect”. Frequent charging will extend their life.

• Avoid charging at temperatures above 120° F. (49° C.) ambient air temperature. Closed, unvented storage buildings often exceed this temperature when exposed to direct sunlight.

• Never connect an auxiliary battery to the factory-installed DC-to-DC converter. If more than 10 amps are needed for accessories, always install the POLARIS-approved auxiliary accessory battery kit.

• Never connect a 12-volt accessory directly to the batteries. Always connect any powered accessory to a 12-volt auxiliary outlet or terminal board. See page 25.

• Never connect jumper cables to any of the batteries of this vehicle.

• Use only insulated tools when working in the battery compartment.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Batteries

Battery Conditioning

New batteries cannot initially hold all of their capacity. The approximate capacity of the battery pack increases as the number of charge cycles increases.

Ambient Temperature Implications on Batteries

1. Battery range decreases as ambient temperature decreases. This can

affect the range by up to 30%.

2. Batteries discharge when left uncharged. They can discharge up to

13% per month (higher rates in warmer climates) with the key off and much faster if the key is left on.

3. Batteries can freeze if left uncharged at low ambient temperatures.

Charger Operation

Open the hood and any door enclosures or zippers. This will decrease charger temperature, which allows it to operate more efficiently, and shorten charge times. See pages 71-72 for charging procedures.

1. Always use extension cords with the appropriate ratings for the

country in which it is used. In North America this is a UL rating. The cords must also be rated for the conditions in which they are used, such as being rated for protection from oil in a garage or workshop environment.

2. Use the proper cord wire gauges for the cord length used:

Battery Operation Range

Range is significantly affected by tire pressure, alignment, terrain and driving style. Always maintain proper tire pressure as specified on safety labels.

MAINTENANCE

Brakes

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes. Press down on the brake pedal to engage the brakes. See page 35.

Brake Fluid

Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation.

WARNING! After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury.

Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown. See page 58 for fluid recommendations.

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. View the brake fluid level at the

reservoir in the driver’s side wheel well. The level should be between the upper (MAX) and lower (MIN) level lines.

3. If the fluid level is lower than

the upper level line, add brake fluid to the upper (MAX) line.

4. Apply the brake forcefully for a

few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.

Cleaning and Storage

Washing the Vehicle

Keeping your POLARIS vehicle clean will not only improve its appearance but it can also extend the life of various components.

NOTICE: High water pressure may damage comp on e nts. POLARIS

recommends washing the vehicle by hand or with a garden hose, using mild soap.

NOTICE: Certain products, including insect repellents and chemicals, will

damage plastic surfaces. Do not allow these types of products to contact the vehicle.

The best and safest way to clean your POLARIS vehicle is with a garden hose and a pail of mild soap and water.

1. Use a professional-type washing cloth, cleaning the upper body first and the lower parts last.

2. Rinse with clean water frequently.

3. Dry surfaces with a chamois to prevent wate r spo ts.

Washing Tips

• Avoid the use of harsh cleaners, which can scratch the finish.

• Do not use a power washer to clean the vehicle.

• Do not use medium to heavy duty compounds on the finish.

• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or

reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.

• Avoid directing water toward electrical components, including batter-

ies, wiring and switches.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Washing the Vehicle

If a high pressure water system is used for cleaning (not recommended), exercise extreme caution. The water may damage components and could remove paint and labels. Avoid directing the water stream at the following items:

• Wheel bearings

• Main gearcase seals

•Brakes

• Cab and body panels

• Labels and decals

• Switches and controls

• Electrical components and wiring If an informational or graphic label becomes illegible or comes off, con-

tact your POLARIS dealer to purchase a replacement. Replacement safety labels are provided by POLARIS at no charge.

Grease all zerk fittings immediately after washing.

Polishing the Vehicle

POLARIS recommends the use of common household aerosol furniture polish for polishing the finish on your POLARIS vehicle. Follow the instructions on the container.

Polishing Tips

• Avoid the use of automotive products, some of which can scratch the finish of your vehicle.

• Always use clean cloths and pads for cleaning and polishing. Old or reused cloths and pads may contain dirt particles that will scratch the finish.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and Storage

Chrome Wheel Care (if equipped)

Proper maintenance will protect chrome wheels from corrosion, preserve wheel life and ensure a “like new” appearance for many years. Chrome wheels exposed to road salt (or salt in the air in coastal areas) are more susceptible to corrosion if not properly cleaned. Clean chrome wheels more often if they're exposed to salt or other corrosive elements.

1. Wash chrome wheels frequently. Use a mild detergent. Never use

abrasive cleaners on plated or painted surfaces.

2. Rinse well with clear water. Soap, detergents, salt, dirt, mud and

other elements can cause corrosion.

3. Polish the clean chrome wheels periodically. Use an automotive

grade chrome polish.

4. Routinely and liberally apply a weather resistant wax to each pol-

ished chrome wheel. Choose a product suitable for chrome finishes. Read and follow the product labels and instructions.

Removing Corrosion

If light rust is found on the chrome finish, use steel wool (#0000-OTT grade) to remove it. Gently rub the affecte d are a s with the steel wool until the corrosion has been removed. Clean and polish the wheel as outlined above.
