Electrical Battery 

The unit’s battery is located under the floor board 

mat and supplies electrical power to the unit. The 

battery is a 12 volt gel acid type that contains no 

liquid electrolyte. The battery should be removed 

from the vehicle when stored for extended 

periods and charged before being replaced in the 

unit. Use a trickle charger set at 12 volts to 

recharge the battery to full charge before 

replacing it in the unit.  

When reinstalling the battery, be sure to connect 

the red cable to the positive (+) terminal and the 

black cable to the negative (-) terminal.  

The battery should be replaced every three years 

or when it no longer holds a charge. 

Do not expose the battery, for extended periods 

of time, to freezing temperatures. If the battery 

has been frozen it will need to be replaced.  

There is an inline fuse on the positive lead of 

the battery to protect the wiring system from 

over loads. If your starter motor will not turn 

over and the battery is fully charged, check 

the inline fuse on the unit.  

Replace the fuse with a 7A fuse. 

C.V.T. Filter 

This unit is equipped with an air filter for 

the C.V.T. transmission. It is located on the 

left-hand side of the engine, just ahead of 

the kick starter spindle. The filter will 

accumulate dust and must be cleaned 

periodically to maintain normal vehicle 

operations. Inspect and clean the filter 

every 3000 miles, more frequently if 

operated in a dusty environment. 

To clean the filter, remove the two cover 

bolts and remove the filter. Clean the filter 

element in a non-flammable solvent and let 

dry completely before reinstalling. Replace 

the filter element and the cover. 

FRONT FORKS 

Check the front forks of your vehicle for signs 

of damage or leaking oil. If either is noticed, 

return the vehicle to your dealer for service.
