2002 Polaris Sportsman 500

[teri32rae]

I need a pdf of the service manual for the 2002 polaris sportsman 500 if any one can help me.....

I have to locate the fuses to trouble shoot.

What happen is I let someone put in my new battery (because I was busy) and they reversed the polarity (and i did not check their work b4 I started it up) and when I turned the key and tried to start it, it made some clicking sound as it was going to start and then started smoking immediatally somewhere under the seat.....anyhow, I discoverd the screw up with the reverse polarity and I corrected that and now it will not do anything when I try to start it.

So, the battery reads charged.....but i am gonna stick it on the charger tonight. But I must learn more about the fuses and their location and such.....

ANY SUGGESTIONS WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...Tryen to save money and do it myself....

thanks....Teri

if you look under the seat and take the breather off the wires are right there some are a little tuff too get but you can see if there fried or not i had a simmler problem and looked for the wires and there they all were and if you go to the front of the quad and take off the plastic where the radiator is theres all the fuses they should be in like black packs probably need a ohm tester good luck bud i already discovered all this stuff and i have a 2003 not much of a difference
