Electrical System
The electrical connections should be checked periodi-
cally for proper function. In case of an electrical failure,
check fuse, connections (for tightness, corrosion, dam-
age), and/or bulb.
Each time the ATV is used, switches should be checked
for proper operation. Use the following list for reference.
A. Ignition switch — engine will start (with brake lever
compressed).
B. Emergency stop switch — engine will stop.
C. Brakelight switch — brakelight will illuminate with
brake lever(s) compressed.
Testing Electrical Components
All of the electrical tests should be made using the Fluke
Model 77 Multimeter. If any other type of meter is used,
readings may vary due to internal circuitry. When trouble-
shooting a specific component, always verify first the fuse
is good, the bulb is 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 (approximately 68° F).
Battery
The battery is located under the seat.
After being in service, batteries require regular cleaning
and recharging in order to deliver peak performance and
maximum service life. The following procedure is rec-
ommended for cleaning and maintaining a sealed battery.
Always read and follow instructions provided with bat-
tery chargers and battery products.
NOTE: Refer to all warnings and cautions provided
with the battery or battery maintainer/charger.
Loss of battery charge may be caused by ambient tem-
perature, ignition OFF current draw, corroded terminals,
self discharge, frequent start/stops, and short engine run
times. Extended low RPM operation, short trips, and high
amperage accessory usage are also reasons for battery
discharge.
Maintenance Charging
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of the
CTEK Multi US 800 or the CTEK Multi US 3300 for
battery maintenance charging. Maintenance charging
is required on all batteries not used for more than two
weeks or as required by battery drain.
800E
1. When charging a battery in the vehicle, be sure the
ignition switch is in the OFF position.
2. Clean the battery terminals with a solution of baking
soda and water.
NOTE: The sealing strip should NOT be removed
and NO fluid should be added.
3. Be sure the charger and battery are in a well-venti-
lated area. Be sure the charger is unplugged from the
110-volt electrical outlet.
4. 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.
NOTE: Optional battery charging adapters are
available from your authorized Arctic Cat dealer to
connect directly to your vehicle from the recom-
mended chargers to simplify the maintenance
charging process. Check with your authorized Arctic
Cat dealer for proper installation of these charging
adapter connectors.
5. Plug the battery charger into a 110-volt electrical
outlet.
6. If using the CTEK Multi US 800, there are no further
buttons to push. If using the CTEK Multi US 3300,
press the Mode button (A) at the left of the charger
until the Maintenance Charge Icon (B) at the bottom
illuminates. The Normal Charge Indicator (C) should
illuminate on the upper portion of the battery charger.
NOTE: The maintainer/charger will charge the bat-
tery to 95% capacity at which time the Maintenance
Charge Indicator (D) will illuminate and the main-
tainer/charger will change to pulse/float maintenance.
If the battery falls below 12.9 DC volts, the charger
will automatically start again at the first step of the
charge sequence.
