OPERATION

Emergency Starting

On manual-start models, an emergency start strap is provided for use if

the recoil starter system fails.

1. Open the clutch guard.
2. Push on the inner sheave of

the clutch and rotate clock-

wise slightly to relieve belt

tension.

3. Starting at one of the tower

struts, wind the strap counter-

clockwise around the clutch

as shown.

4. Pull the strap abruptly so the

strap comes free of the clutch

while starting the engine.

WARNING

Serious injury can result from wrapping the start strap around your hand

while using the emergency starting procedure. DO NOT wrap the start strap

around your hand. Keep all bystanders and loose clothing away from the

snowmobile when using the emergency starting procedure.
