7. Attach one clamp of the negative

(black) jumper cable to the negative (-)

terminal (3) of the good battery (B);

then attach the other clamp of the nega-

tive (black) jumper cable (4) to an

unpainted metal surface (A) on the

engine or frame well away from dead

battery and fuel system components.

8. Stand well away from the dead bat-

tery and start the vehicle with the

good battery. Allow the vehicle to

run for several minutes applying

some charge to the dead battery.

9. Start the vehicle with the dead bat-

tery and allow it to run for several

minutes before disconnecting the

jumper cables.

10. Remove the jumper cables in oppo-

site order of hook-up (4, 3, 2, 1). Be

careful not to short cables against

bare metal.



NOTE: Have the battery and elec-

trical system checked prior to
operating the vehicle again.

Spark Plug(s)

This ATV comes equipped with a specified

spark plug. See the specifications chart for

the correct spark plug. A light brown insu-

lator indicates that the plug is correct. A

white or dark insulator indicates that the

engine may need to be serviced. Consult an

authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer if the

plug insulator is not a light brown color. To

help prevent cold weather fouling, make

sure to thoroughly warm up the engine

before operating.
To maintain a hot, strong spark, keep the

plug free of carbon.
Before removing the spark plug, be sure

to clean the area around the spark plug. If

you do not, dirt could enter engine when

removing or installing the spark plug.

ATV-0051

Adjust the gap to specification for proper

ignition (see appropriate specification

chart). Use a feeler gauge to check the gap.

ATV-0052

When installing the spark plug, be sure to

tighten it securely. A new spark plug should

be tightened 1/2 turn once the washer con-

tacts the cylinder head. A used spark plug

should be tightened 1/8 - 1/4 turn once the

washer contacts the cylinder head.

Throttle Cable

Adjustment

To adjust the throttle cable free-play:

1. Loosen the jam nut from the throttle

cable adjuster.

2. Slide the rubber boot away and turn

the adjuster until the throttle lever

has proper free-play of 3-6 mm (1/8-

1/4 in.).

CF297A

! WARNING

Never make the final connection to a
battery as a spark could ignite hydro-
gen gases causing an explosion of
the battery resulting in acid burns or
blindness.
