OPERATION

Emergency Starting

If the recoil starter system fails, an emergency start strap is provided in

the tool kit.
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the left side panel.
3. Using the belt removal

tool, follow the directions

on the air box to relieve

belt tension.

4. Starting at one of the tower

struts, wind the strap

counterclockwise around the

clutch as shown.

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.

5. Pull the strap abruptly so the strap comes free of the clutch while

starting the engine. Repeat until the engine starts.

6. Reinstall the side panel.
7. Close and secure the hood.
