Drive Axle Boots

for cracks, tears, or perfora-
tions.
2. If boot damage is present,
contact an authorized Arctic
Cat ATV dealer for service.
Battery
The battery is located under the
right rear fender.
After being in service, batteries
require
regular
cleaning
and
recharging in order to deliver peak
performance and maximum ser-
vice life. The following proce-
dures
are
recommended
for
cleaning and maintaining lead-acid batteries. Always read and follow
instructions provided with battery chargers and battery products.
NOTE: Refer to all warnings and cautions provided with
the battery or battery maintainer/charger.
Loss of battery charge may be caused by ambient temperature, igni-
tion OFF current draw, corroded terminals, self discharge, frequent
start/stops, and short engine run times. Frequent winch usage, snow-
plowing, extended low RPM operation, short trips, and high amper-
age accessory usage are also reasons for battery discharge.
Maintenance Charging
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends the use of the CTEK Multi
CC793
US 800 or the CTEK Multi US 3300 for battery maintenance
charging. Maintenance 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 distilled 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
KC375A
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.
