Maintenance Charging

NOTE: Arctic Cat recom-
mends the use of the CTEK
Multi US 800 or the CTEK
Multi US 3300 for battery
maintenance charging. Main-
tenance 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
vehicle, 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 dis-
tilled 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 electri-
cal 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 connect 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.
