Put the key in the “Off” position.” Locate your battery. It’s often located behind a plastic panel up high at the front of the ATV. But it may also be found in less ideal places, like on this Polaris Sportsman 570, where the battery sits exposed on the bottom of the frame. On some ATVs, it may even be at the rear of the bike.
