B. When using a constant-current
battery charger, use the follow-
ing Battery Charging Chart.
! CAUTION
Never exceed the standard charg-
ing rate.
! WARNING
An overheated
explode causing severe injury or
death. Always monitor charging
times and charge rates carefully.
Stop charging
becomes very warm to the touch.
Allow it to cool before resuming
charging.

 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 no less than 12.5 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 bat-
tery posts and cable ends with a
light coat of multi-purpose grease.
! CAUTION
Before installing the battery, make
sure the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
10. Connect the battery cables (posi-
tive cable first).
! CAUTION
Connecting cables in reverse (pos-
itive to negative and negative to
positive) can cause serious dam-
age to the electrical system.
FUSES
(Electric Start Models)
Fuses protect the snowmobile electrical
system from overloading. If electrical
parts in the snowmobile are not work-
ing, the system may have been over-
loaded and caused a blown fuse.
Before repairing or replacing any elec-
trical part, check the appropriate fuses.
If a fuse blows (opens a circuit), all the
parts of the snowmobile that use that
circuit will not work.
