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
procedures are recommended for
cleaning and maintaining lead-acid bat-
teries. Always read and follow instruc-
tions provided with battery chargers
and battery products.
NOTE: Battery maintenance can
be performed by the ATV owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat
ATV dealer for this service. This
service is at the discretion and
expense of the ATV owner.
1. Remove the battery hold-down;
then disconnect the battery cables
(negative cable first).
2. Disconnect the vent hose.
3. Remove the battery from the bat-
tery compartment; then thoroughly
wash the battery and battery com-
partment with soap and water.
NOTE: If battery posts, cable
ends, or the battery case has a
build-up of white/green powder
residue, apply water and baking
soda to neutralize acid; then flush
off with warm soapy water.
4. Using a wire brush, clean the bat-
tery posts and cable ends removing
all corrosive buildup. Replace
damaged cables or cable ends.
5. Add clean distilled water to bring
fluid level to the UPPER level line.
6. Using a multimeter, test the battery
voltage. The meter must read at
least 12.5 DC Volts for a fully
charged battery.
NOTE: At this point, if the meter
reads as specified, the battery may
be returned to service (see step
10).
7. If the meter reads less than speci-
fied voltage, charge the battery
using the following guidelines.
! WARNING
Anytime service is performed on a
battery, the following must be
observed: keep sparks, open
flame, cigarettes, or any other
flame away. Always wear safety
glasses. Protect skin and clothing
when handling a battery. When ser-
vicing battery in enclosed space,
keep the area well-ventilated. Make
sure battery venting is not
obstructed.
! WARNING
Battery acid is harmful if it con-
tacts eyes, skin, or clothing. Care
must be taken whenever handling
a battery.
CAUTION
Never use electrolyte (sulfuric
acid) to “top off” the battery. Use
only distilled water or severe bat-
tery damage may occur.
