NOTE: If the battery voltage is 11.5
DC Volts or less, some chargers may
“cut off” and fail to charge. If this
occurs, connect a fully charged
booster battery in parallel (positive
to positive and negative to negative)
for a short period of time with the
charger connected. After 10-15 min-
utes, disconnect the booster battery
leaving the charger connected and
the charger should continue to
charge. If the charger “cuts off,”
replace the battery.
7. After charging the battery for the
specified time, remove the battery
charger and allow the battery to sit
for 1-2 hours.
8. Connect the multimeter and test the
battery voltage. The meter should
read no less than 12.5 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.
9. Place the battery into position in the
snowmobile; then coat the battery
posts and cable ends with a light
coat of multi-purpose grease.
10. Secure the red positive cable to the
positive terminal on the battery
using a cap screw, lock washer, and
a flat washer. Tighten securely.
11. Secure the main black negative
cable and the small black negative
cable to the battery using a cap
screw, lock washer, and a flat
washer. Tighten securely.
NOTE: Assure the harness wires and
cables are routed properly as noted
during removing battery procedure.

12. Install the battery bracket/solenoid
and tighten the two screws and lock
nuts to 1.2 kg-m (105 in.-lb); then
install the seat and secure with the
torx-head screw. Tighten securely.
NOTE: Prior to lowering and secur-
ing the seat, connect the seat heater
harness connector.
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. Locate the fuse block and remove
the fuse block cover.
NOTE: The fuse block is behind
the coolant overflow bottle.

tive) can cause serious damage to
the electrical system.
