negative (-) 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.

SPARK PLUG
The ATV comes equipped with a specified spark plug. See the
specifications chart for the correct spark plug. A light brown insu-
lator 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.
To maintain a hot, strong spark,
keep the plug free of carbon.
Before removing the spark plug,
be sure to clean the area around
the spark plug. If you do not, dirt
could enter engine when remov-
ing or installing the spark plug.
Adjust the gap to 0.6-0.7 mm
(0.024-0.028 in.) for proper igni-
tion. Use a feeler gauge to check
the gap.
! WARNING
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.
