Jump-Starting
NOTE: Arctic Cat does not rec-
ommend jump-starting a vehicle
with a dead battery but rather to
remove the battery, service it, and
correctly charge it; however, in an
emergency, it may be necessary to
jump-start a vehicle. If so, use the
following procedure to carefully
and safely complete this procedure.
! WARNING
Improper handling or connecting of
a battery may result in severe injury
including
acid
burns,
burns, or blindness as a result of an
explosion. Always remove rings and
watches.
1. On the vehicle to be jump-started,
remove the battery cover and any
terminal boots.
! WARNING
Anytime service is performed on a
battery,
the
following
observed: keep sparks, open flame,
cigarettes, or any other flame away.
Always wear safety glasses. Pro-
tect skin and clothing when han-
dling a battery. When servicing
battery in enclosed space, keep the
area well-ventilated. Make sure bat-
tery venting is not obstructed.
2. Inspect the battery for any signs of
electrolyte leaks, loose terminals,
or bulging sides. Leaking or bulg-
ing battery cases may indicate a
frozen or shorted battery.
! WARNING
If any of these conditions exist, DO
NOT attempt a jump-start, boost, or
charge the battery. An explosion
could occur causing serious injury.
3. Inspect the vehicle to be used for
jump-starting to determine if voltage
and ground polarity are compatible.
The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC,
negative ground electrical system.
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.
4. Move the vehicle to be used for
the jump-start close enough to
ensure the jumper cables easily
electrical
reach; then shift into neutral, set
and lock the brakes, shut off all
electrical accessories, and turn the
ignition switch OFF.
NOTE: Make sure all switches on
the vehicle to be jump-started are
turned OFF.
5. Disconnect all external accessories
such as cell phones, GPS units,
and radios on both vehicles.
