7. Attach one clamp of the negative
(black) jumper cable to the negative
(-) terminal (3) of the good battery
(B); then attach the other clamp of
the negative (black) jumper cable (4)
to an unpainted metal surface (A) on
the engine or frame well away from
the 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 vehicle with the dead bat-
tery 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 vehicle again.
Spark Plug
The ATV comes equipped with a speci-
fied spark plug. See the Specifications
chart for the correct spark plug and the
correct gap. A light brown insulator indi-
cates that the plug is correct. A white or
dark insulator indicates that the engine
may need to be serviced. Consult an
authorized dealer if the plug insulator is
not a light brown color.
To help prevent cold weather fouling,
make sure to thoroughly warm up the
engine before operating. To maintain a
hot, strong spark, keep the plug free of
carbon.
Before removing the spark plug, be sure
to clean the area around the spark plug. If
you do not, dirt could enter engine when
removing or installing the spark plug.
Adjust to the recommended gap for
proper ignition. Use a wire-type feeler
gauge to check the gap.
ATV-0052
When installing the spark plug, be sure to
tighten it securely. A new spark plug
should be tightened 1/2 turn once the
washer contacts the cylinder head. A
used spark plug should be tightened 1/8-
1/4 turn once the washer contacts the cyl-
inder head.
Throttle Cable
Adjustment
To adjust the throttle cable free-play:
1. Loosen the jam nut from the throttle
cable adjuster.
2. Slide the rubber boot away and turn
the adjuster until the throttle lever
has the proper free-play of 3-6 mm
(1/8-1/4 in.).
ATV-0047
3. Tighten the knurled nut against the
throttle cable adjuster securely; then
slide the rubber boot over the
adjuster.
! WARNING
Never make the final connection to a
battery as a spark could ignite hydro-
gen gases causing an explosion of the
battery resulting in acid burns or
blindness.
