4. Move the vehicle to be used for the
jump-start close enough to ensure
the jumper cables easily reach; then
set and lock the brakes, shut off all
electrical accessories, and turn the
ignition switch OFF.
NOTE: Make sure all switches on
the snowmobile 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) cable to the positive (+) termi-
nal (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)
cable to the positive (+) terminal (2)
of the good battery (B).

NOTE: Some jumper cables may be
the same color but the clamps or ends
will be color-coded red and black.
7. Attach one clamp of the negative
jumper cable (black) to the negative (-)
terminal (3) of the good battery (B);
then attach the other clamp of the nega-
tive (black) jumper cable (4) to an
unpainted metal surface (A) on the
engine or frame well away from dead
battery and fuel system components.
8. Stand well away from the dead bat-
tery and start the vehicle with the
good battery. Allow the vehicle to
run for several minutes applying
some charge to the dead battery.
9. Start the snowmobile with the dead
battery and allow it to run for several
minutes before disconnecting the
jumper cables.
10. Remove the jumper cables in oppo-
site order of hook-up (4, 3, 2, 1). Be
careful not to short cables against
bare metal.
NOTE: Have the battery and elec-
trical system checked prior to oper-
ating the snowmobile again.
Drive Clutch and Driven
Pulley
The drive clutch and driven pulley do not
require lubrication; therefore, no special
maintenance is required by the snowmo-
bile owner except for periodical cleaning
(see the Periodic Maintenance Checklist
in the Maintenance section).
However, the drive clutch and driven pul-
ley should be disassembled, cleaned, and
inspected by an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer after every 800 miles
of operation or at the end of the snowmo-
biling season whichever occurs first. This
service is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.
When operating the snowmobile at high
altitudes, it may be necessary to change
certain component parts of the drive
clutch and/or the driven pulley. See an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer
for further information.
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.
! WARNING
Never make the final connection to a bat-
tery as a spark could ignite hydrogen
gases causing an explosion of the bat-
tery resulting in acid burns or blindness.
