Charging the battery
You should recharge a battery that has been standing for more than three
weeks or does not have sufficient capacity. We recommend using the Shark
CT-2000 automatic battery charger to charge your battery.
Using a charger that is not designed for charging maintenance-free batteries
will irreversibly damage and destroy the battery.
1. If you are charging the battery directly in the machine, make sure the
ignition is turned off (key is in the OFF position).
2. Clean the battery terminals with a spray type contact cleaner such as
Maxima Electrical Contact/Brake Cleaner.
3. Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. Before connecting the
charger to the battery make sure it is disconnected from the mains.
4. Connect the red terminal of the charger to the red (positive) terminal of the
battery, the black charging terminal to the black (negative) battery terminal.
5. Plug the charger into the mains.
6. Once the battery is charged, the charger will automatically switch to
maintenance charging mode.
Loss of battery capacity can be caused by low outside temperature, wiring
fault, contacts corrosion, self-discharge, frequent starting or frequent short
rides. Other reasons for battery depletion include frequent use of the winch,
snow plow, extended operation in low engine rpm, short rides, or high current
draw by additional accessories .
