4. Move the vehicle to be used for the jump-start close enough to
ensure the jumper cables easily reach; then shift into neutral, set
and lock the brakes, shut off all electrical accessories, and turn the
ignition switch OFF.
NOTE: Make sure all switches on the vehicle to be jump-
started are turned OFF.
5. Disconnect all external accessories such as cell phones, GPS
units, and radios on both vehicles.
CAUTION
Failure to disconnect electronic accessories during jump-start-
ing may cause system damage due to power spikes.
6. Attach one clamp of the posi-
tive (red) jumper cable to the
positive (+) terminal (1) of the
dead battery (C) being careful
not to touch any metal with the
other clamp; then attach the
other clamp of the positive
(red) jumper cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminal (2) of the good
battery (B).
NOTE: Some jumper cables may be the same color but the
clamps or ends will be color-coded red and black.
7. Attach one clamp of the negative (black) jumper cable to the neg-
ative (-) terminal (3) of the good battery (B); then attach the other
clamp of the negative (black) jumper cable (4) to an unpainted
metal surface (A) on the engine or frame well away from the dead
battery and fuel system components.
Never make the final connection to a battery as a spark could
ignite hydrogen gases causing an explosion of the battery
resulting in acid burns or blindness.
8. Stand well away from the dead battery and start the vehicle with
the good battery. Allow the vehicle to run for several minutes
applying some charge to the dead battery.
9. Start the vehicle with the dead battery and allow it to run for sev-
eral minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.
10. Remove the jumper cables in opposite order of hook-up (4, 3, 2,
1). Be careful not to short cables against bare metal.
NOTE: Have the battery and electrical system checked
prior to operating the vehicle again.

Spark Plug

The ATV comes equipped with a specified spark plug. See the ATV
Specifications chart for the correct spark plug. A light brown insulator
indicates that the plug is correct. A white or dark insulator indicates
that the engine may need to be serviced or the carburetor may need to
be adjusted.
Consult an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer if the plug insulator is
not a light brown color. To help prevent cold weather fouling, make
sure to thoroughly warm up the engine before operating.
