NOTE: The maintainer/charger
will charge the battery to 95%
capacity at which time the Mainte-
nance Charge Indicator (D) will illu-
minate and the maintainer/charger
will change to pulse/float mainte-
nance. If the battery falls below 12.9
DC volts, the charger will automati-
cally start again at the first step of
the charge sequence.
NOTE: Not using a battery char-
ger with the proper float mainte-
nance will damage the battery if
connected over extended periods.
Charging
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends
the use of the CTEK XS 800 or the
CTEK MXS 3600 for battery mainte-
nance charging.
1. Be sure the battery and terminals
have been cleaned with a baking
soda and water solution.
NOTE: The sealing strip should
NOT be removed and NO fluid
should be added.
2. Be sure the charger and battery are
in a well-ventilated area. Be sure the
charger is unplugged from the 240-
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 terminal of the battery.
4. Plug the charger into a 240-volt
electrical outlet.
5. By pushing the Mode button (A) on
the left side of the charger, select the
Normal Charge Icon (E). The Nor-
mal 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 Mainte-
nance Charge Indicator (D) will illu-
minate.
NOTE: For optimal charge and
performance, leave the charger
connected to the battery for a mini-
mum 1 hour after the Maintenance
Charge Indicator (D) illuminates. If
the battery becomes hot to the
touch, stop charging. Resume after
it has cooled.
8. Once the battery has reached full
charge, unplug the charger from the
240-volt electrical outlet.
NOTE: If, after charging, the bat-
tery does not perform to operator
expectations, bring the battery to
an authorized Arctic Cat dealer for
further troubleshooting.
Spark Plug
The ATV comes equipped with a speci-
fied spark plug. See the Specifications
chart for the correct spark plug. A light
brown insulator indicates that the plug is
correct. A white or dark insulator indi-
cates that the engine may need to be ser-
viced. 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.
Before removing the spark plug, be sure to
clean the area around the spark plug. If you
do not, dirt could enter engine when remov-
ing or installing the spark plug.
