Charging
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of the CTEK
Multi US 800 or the CTEK Multi US 3300 for battery
maintenance charging.
1. Be sure the battery and terminals have been cleaned
with a baking soda and water solution.
2. Be sure the charger and battery are in a well-venti-
lated area and ensure the battery charger cables will
not contact any battery acid. Be sure the charger is
unplugged from the 110-volt electrical outlet.
3. Connect the red terminal lead from the charger to the
positive terminal of the battery; then connect the
black terminal lead of the charger to the negative ter-
minal of the battery.
4. Plug the charger into a 110-volt electrical outlet.
5. By pushing the Mode button (A) on the left side of
the charger, select the Normal Charge Icon (E). The
Normal Charge Indicator (C) should illuminate on
the upper left portion of the charger.
6. The battery will charge to 95% of its capacity at
which time the Maintenance Charge Indicator (D)
will illuminate.
NOTE: For optimal charge and performance, leave the
charger connected to the battery for a minimum 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 battery does not perform
to operator expectations, bring the battery to an autho-
rized Arctic Cat dealer for further troubleshooting.
RPM Limiter
NOTE: The ROV is equipped with an ECM that
cuts fuel delivery when maximum RPM is
approached. When the RPM limiter is activated, it
could be misinterpreted as a high-speed misfire.
Testing Electrical
Components
All of the electrical tests should be made using the Fluke
Model 73 Multimeter or Model 77 Multimeter and when
testing peak voltage, the Peak Voltage Reading Adapter
must be used. If any other type of meter is used, readings
may vary due to internal circuitry. When troubleshooting
a specific component, always verify first the fuse(s) are
good, the bulb(s) are good, the connections are clean and
tight, the battery is fully charged, and all appropriate
switches are activated.
NOTE: For absolute accuracy, all tests should be
made at room temperature of 68° F.
Switches
Each time the vehicle is used, switches should be
checked for proper operation. Use the following list
for reference.
A. Ignition/start switch — engine will run; starter
will engage.
B. Drive select switch — differential will engage
(4WD)/disengage (2WD).
C. Reverse/neutral/high/low/park switch — R/N/H/
L/P will be indicated on the LCD.
D. Headlight switch — high beam, low beam, and
lights off can be selected.
E. Brake switch — brakelight illuminates and starter
can be engaged with vehicle in gear.
Electrical Connections
The electrical connections should be checked periodi-
cally for proper function. In case of an electrical failure,
check fuses, connections (for tightness, corrosion, dam-
age), and/or bulbs.
Accessory Receptacle/
Connector
NOTE: This test procedure is for either the recep-
tacles or the connectors.
VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position; then set
the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the red/white wire or
the positive connector; then connect the black tester
lead to ground.
3. The meter must show battery voltage.
NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage,
troubleshoot the battery, fuse, receptacle, connec-
tor, or the main wiring harness.
Brakelight Switch
The switch connector is the two-prong black connector
below the master cylinder.
