Be careful not to short cables against bare metal.
NOTE: Have the battery and electrical system checked
prior to operating the vehicle again.
Spark Plug
The ATV comes equipped with a
specified spark plug. See the specifi-
cations chart for the correct spark
plug. A light brown insulator indi-
cates that the plug is correct. A white
or dark insulator indicates that the
engine may need to be serviced or the
carburetor may need to be adjusted.
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.
CAUTION
Failure to disconnect electronic accessories during jump-start-
ing may cause system damage due to power spikes.
! WARNING
Never make the final connection to a battery as a spark could
ignite hydrogen gases causing an explosion of the battery
resulting in acid burns or blindness.
