Jump-Starting
NOTE: Arctic Cat does not rec-
ommend jump-starting a vehicle
with a dead battery but rather to
remove the battery, service it, and
correctly charge it; however, in an
emergency, it may be necessary to
jump-start a vehicle. If so, use the
following procedure to carefully
and safely complete this procedure.
1. On the vehicle to be jump-started,
remove the battery cover and any
terminal boots.
2. Inspect the battery for any signs of
electrolyte leaks, loose terminals, or
bulging sides. Leaking or bulging
battery cases may indicate a frozen
or shorted battery.
3. Inspect the vehicle to be used for
jump-starting to determine if voltage
and ground polarity are compatible.
The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC,
negative ground electrical system.
4. Move the vehicle to be used for the
jump-start close enough to ensure
the jumper cables easily reach; then
shift into neutral, set and lock the
brakes, shut off all electrical acces-
sories, and turn the ignition switch
OFF.
NOTE: Make sure all switches on
the vehicle to be jump-started are
turned OFF.
5. Disconnect all external accessories
such as cell phones, GPS units, and
radios on both vehicles.
6. Attach one clamp of the positive
(red) jumper cable to the positive (+)
terminal (1) of the dead battery (C)
being careful not to touch any metal
with the other clamp; then attach the
other clamp of the positive (red)
jumper cable to the positive (+) ter-
minal (2) of the good battery (B).

! WARNING
Improper handling or connecting of a
battery may result in serious injury
including acid burns, electrical burns,
or blindness as a result of an explosion.
Always remove rings and watches.
! WARNING
Any time service is performed on a bat-
tery, the following must be observed:
keep sparks, open flame, cigarettes, or
any other flame away. Always wear
safety glasses. Protect skin and cloth-
ing when handling a battery. When ser-
vicing battery in enclosed space, keep
the area well-ventilated. Make sure bat-
tery venting is not obstructed.
! WARNING
If any of these conditions exist, DO
NOT attempt a jump-start, boost, or
charge the battery. An explosion
could occur causing serious injury.
CAUTION
Always make sure the electrical sys-
tems are of the same voltage and
ground polarity prior to connecting
jumper cables. If not, severe electri-
cal damage may occur.
CAUTION
Failure to disconnect electronic
accessories during jump-starting
may cause system damage due to
power spikes.
