 NOTE: For optimal charge and

performance, leave the charger

connected to the battery for a mini-

mum 1 hour after the Maintenance

Charge Indicator (D) illuminates. If

the battery becomes hot to the

touch, stop charging. Resume after

it has cooled.

7. Once the battery has reached full

charge, unplug the charger from the

110-volt electrical outlet.

 NOTE: If, after charging, the bat-

tery does not perform to operator

expectations, bring the battery to

an authorized Arctic Cat dealer for

further troubleshooting.

Jump-Starting

 NOTE: Arctic Cat does not recom-

mend jump-starting a vehicle with a

dead battery but rather to remove

the battery, service it, and correctly

charge it; however, in an emer-

gency, it may be necessary to jump-

start a vehicle. If so, use the follow-

ing procedure to carefully and

safely complete this procedure.

1. On the vehicle to be jump-started,

remove the battery cover and any

terminal boots.

2. Inspect the battery for any signs of

electrolyte leaks, loose terminals, or

bulging sides. Leaking or bulging

battery cases may indicate a frozen

or shorted battery.

3. Inspect the vehicle to be used for

jump-starting to determine if voltage

and ground polarity are compatible.

The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC,

negative ground electrical system.

4. Move the vehicle to be used for the

jump-start close enough to ensure the

jumper cables easily reach; then shift

into neutral, set and lock the brakes,

shut off all electrical accessories, and

turn the ignition switch OFF.

 NOTE: Make sure all switches on

the vehicle to be jump-started are

turned OFF.

5. Disconnect all external accessories

such as cell phones, GPS units, and

radios on both vehicles.

6. Attach one clamp of the positive

(red) jumper cable to the positive (+)

terminal (1) of the dead battery (C)

being careful not to touch any metal

with the other clamp; then attach the

other clamp of the positive (red)

jumper cable to the positive (+) ter-

minal (2) of the good battery (B).

! WARNING

Improper handling or connecting of

a battery may result in severe injury

including acid burns, electrical

burns, or blindness as a result of an

explosion. Always remove rings and

watches.

! WARNING

Any time service is performed on a

battery, the following must be

observed: keep sparks, open flame,

cigarettes, or any other flame away.

Always wear safety glasses. Protect

skin and clothing when handling a

battery. When servicing battery in

enclosed space, keep the area well-

ventilated. Make sure battery vent-

ing is not obstructed.

! WARNING

If any of these conditions exist, DO

NOT attempt a jump-start, boost, or

charge the battery. An explosion

could occur causing serious injury.

CAUTION

Always make sure the electrical sys-

tems are of the same voltage and

ground polarity prior to connecting

jumper cables. If not, severe electri-

cal damage may occur.

CAUTION

Failure to disconnect electronic

accessories during jump-starting

may cause system damage due to

power spikes.
