Maintenance
Charging
NOTE: Arctic Cat recom-
mends the use of the CTEK
Multi US 800 or the CTEK
Multi US 3300 for battery
maintenance charging. Main-
tenance charging is required
on all batteries not used for
more than two weeks or as
required by battery drain.
1. When charging a battery in the vehicle, be sure the ignition switch
is in the OFF position.
2. Clean the battery terminals with a solution of baking soda and
water.
NOTE: The sealing strip should NOT be removed and NO
fluid should be added.
3. Be sure the charger and battery are in a well-ventilated area. Be
sure the charger is unplugged from the 110-volt electrical outlet.
4. Connect the red terminal lead from the charger to the positive ter-
minal of the battery; then connect the black terminal lead of the
charger to the negative terminal of the battery.
NOTE: Optional battery charging adapters are available
from your authorized Arctic Cat dealer to connect directly to
your vehicle from the recommended chargers to simplify the
maintenance charging process. Check with your authorized
Arctic Cat dealer for proper installation of these charging
adapter connectors.
5. Plug the battery charger into a 110-volt electrical outlet.
6. If using the CTEK Multi US
800, there are no further but-
tons to push. If using the
CTEK Multi US 3300, press
the Mode button (A) at the left
of the charger until the Main-
tenance Charge Icon (B) at the
bottom illuminates. The Nor-
mal Charge Indicator (C)
should illuminate on the upper
portion of the battery charger.
NOTE: The maintainer/charger will charge the battery to
95% capacity at which time the Maintenance Charge Indica-
tor (D) will illuminate and the maintainer/charger will change
to pulse/float maintenance. If the battery falls below 12.9 DC
volts, the charger will automatically start again at the first
step of the charge sequence.
NOTE: Not using a battery charger with the proper float
maintenance will damage the battery if connected over
extended periods.
