NOTE: If the battery voltage is
11.5 DC Volts or less, some char-
gers may "cut off" and fail to
charge. If this occurs, connect a
fully charged booster battery in
parallel (positive to positive and
negative to negative) for a short
period of time with the charger
connected. After 10-15 minutes,
disconnect the booster battery
leaving the charger connected
and the charger should continue
to charge. If the charger "cuts off,"
replace the battery.
7. After charging the battery for the
specified time, remove the battery
charger and allow the battery to
sit for 1-2 hours.
8. Connect the multimeter and test
the battery voltage. The meter
should read 12.5-13.0 DC Volts.
If the voltage is as specified, the
battery is ready for service.
NOTE: If voltage in step 8 is
below specifications, charge the
battery an additional 1-5 hours;
then retest. Recheck electrolyte
level (standard battery) and the
battery is ready for service.
9. Place the battery into position in
the snowmobile; then coat the
battery posts and cable ends with
a light coat of multi-purpose
grease.

FUSES
(660 cc Models)
Fuses protect the snowmobile electri-
cal system from overloading. If elec-
trical parts in the snowmobile are not
working, the system may have been
overloaded and caused a blown fuse.
Before repairing or replacing any elec-
trical part, check the appropriate fuses.
The
which fuse protects each electrical
part on the snowmobile. If a fuse
blows (opens a circuit), all the parts of
the snowmobile that use that circuit
will not work.
