8. After charging the battery for the
specified time, remove the battery
charger and allow the battery to sit
for 1-2 hours.
9. Connect the multimeter and test the
battery voltage. The meter should
read no less than 12.8 DC Volts. If
the voltage is as specified, the bat-
tery is ready for service.
NOTE: If voltage in step 8 is below
specifications, charge the battery an
additional 1-5 hours; then retest. The
battery is ready for service.
10. Place the battery into position in the
snowmobile; then coat the battery
posts and cable ends with a light
coat of multi-purpose grease.

Fuses
Fuses protect the snowmobile electrical
system from overloading. If electrical
parts in the snowmobile are not working,
the system may have been overloaded and
caused a blown fuse. Before repairing or
replacing any electrical part, check the
appropriate fuses. If a fuse blows (opens a
circuit), all the parts of the snowmobile
that use that circuit will not work.
Once which fuse to check has been deter-
mined, perform the following steps:
1. Open the right-side access panel and
locate the fuse block. Remove the
fuse block cover.

NOTE: There are spare fuses
beneath the fuse block cover.
2. Remove the suspected fuse.
NOTE: Fuse function descriptions
are next to the fuse contacts in the
fuse block.
CAUTION
Before installing the battery, make
sure the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.
CAUTION
Connecting cables in reverse (posi-
tive to negative and negative to posi-
tive) can cause serious damage to
the electrical system.
