Electrical System
This section has been organized into sub-sections which
show procedures for the complete servicing of the Arctic
Cat ATV electrical system.
The electrical connections should be checked periodi-
cally for proper function. In case of an electrical failure,
check fuses, connections (for tightness, corrosion, dam-
age), and/or bulbs.
SPECIAL TOOLS
A number of special tools must be available to the techni-
cian when performing service procedures in this section.
Refer to the current Special Tools Catalog for the appro-
priate tool description.
NOTE: When indicated for use, each special tool
will be identified by its specific name, as shown in the
chart below, and capitalized.
NOTE: Special tools are available from the Arctic
Cat Service Parts Department.
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 trou-
bleshooting a specific component, always verify first that
the fuse(s) are good, that the bulb(s) are good, that the
connections are clean and tight, that the battery is fully
charged, and that all appropriate switches are activated.
NOTE: For absolute accuracy, all tests should be
made at room temperature of approximately 68° F.
Battery
The battery is located behind 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. Frequent winch usage, snow plowing, extended
low RPM operation, short trips, and high amperage
accessory usage are also reasons for battery discharge.
Charging/Maintenance Charging
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of the
CTEK Multi US 800 for charging or the CTEK Multi
US 3300 for battery maintenance charging. Mainte-
nance charging is required on all batteries not used
for more than two weeks or as required by battery
drain.
800E
NOTE: When charging a battery in the vehicle, be
sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
1. 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.
2. 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.
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 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.
4. Plug the battery charger into a 110-volt electrical
outlet.
5. 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) or Normal
Charge Icon (E) at the bottom illuminates. the Nor-
mal Charge Indicator (C) should illuminate on the
upper portion of the battery charger.
