cally to ensure free movement. Apply light oil to the
components using the following list as reference.

Battery
The battery is located in a battery tray above the rear
drive. It is accessible from the rear of the ATV.
This maintenance-free battery requires periodic charg-
ing to prevent sulfiding. If the ATV will be idle for
extended periods of time, either run the engine or
trickle charge every 30 days. If the battery completely
discharges, permanent damage will occur requiring
replacement.
If the battery is discharged, remove the battery from
the ATV and charge the battery at 1.5 amps for 10
hours.
To remove and charge the battery, use the following
procedure.
1. Remove the battery hold-down bracket.
2. Remove the negative battery cable; then remove
the positive cable. Remove the battery from the
ATV.
3. Trickle charge the battery at 1.5 amps for 10 hours.
4. Place the battery into position in the ATV and
secure with the hold-down bracket.
5. Connect cables to the proper terminals: positive
cable to the positive terminal (+) and negative
cable to the negative terminal (-). Connect the neg-
ative cable last.
Fuses
The fuses are located in a power distribution module
(PDM) under the seat.
If there is any type of electrical system failure, always
check the fuses first.
NOTE: To remove a fuse, compress the locking
tabs on either side of the fuse case and lift out.
