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 Normal Charge Indicator (C)
should illuminate on the upper por-
tion of the battery charger.
NOTE: For optimal charge and per-
formance, leave the charger con-
nected to the battery for a minimum 1
hour after the Maintenance Charge
Indicator (D) illuminates. The main-
tainer/charger will charge the battery
to 95% capacity at which time the
Maintenance Charge Indicator (D) will
illuminate and the maintainer/charger
will change to pulse/float mainte-
nance. If the battery falls below 12.9
DC volts, the charger will automati-
cally start again at the first step of the
charge sequence. If the battery
becomes hot to the touch, stop
charging. Resume after it has cooled.
NOTE: Not using a battery char-
ger with the proper float mainte-
nance will damage the battery if
connected over extended periods.
6. Once the battery has reached full
charge, unplug the charger from the
110-volt electrical outlet.
NOTE: If, after charging, the bat-
tery does not perform to operator
expectations, bring the battery to
an authorized Arctic Cat dealer for
further troubleshooting.
