Battery
The battery is located in a compartment
in front of the left-rear wheel under the
driver 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 maintain-
ing lead-acid batteries. Always read and
follow instructions provided with battery
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 temperature, ignition OFF current
draw, corroded terminals, self discharge,
frequent start/stops, and short engine run
times. Frequent winch usage, snowplow-
ing, 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 main-
tenance charging. Maintenance
charging is required on all batteries
not used for more than two weeks or
as required by battery drain.
1. When charging a battery in the vehi-
cle, be sure the ignition switch is in
the OFF position.

NOTE: Be sure to maintain the
fluid of the battery at the UPPER
LEVEL. Use only distilled water
when adding fluid to these batteries.
2. Clean the battery terminals with a
solution of baking soda and water.
3. Be sure the charger and battery are in
a well-ventilated area and ensure the
battery charger cables will not contact
any battery acid. Be sure the charger
is unplugged from the 110-volt elec-
trical 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 terminal of the battery.

NOTE: Optional battery charging
adapters are available from your
authorized Arctic Cat dealer to con-
nect directly to your vehicle from the
recommended 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 por-
tion of the battery charger.
