OPERATION
Emergency Starting
Your machine is equipped with a tool kit containing essential tools for
emergency use. Machine’s equipped with electric start have a recoil for
emergency starting. On non-electric start models, if the recoil starter
system fails, an emergency start strap is provided in the kit.
To use the emergency start strap:
1. Open the clutch guard.
2. Push on the inner sheave
of the clutch and rotate
clockwise slightly to
relieve belt tension.
3. Starting at one of the
tower struts, wind the
strap counterclockwise
around the clutch as
shown.
4. Pull the strap abruptly so the strap comes free of the clutch while
starting the engine.
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
away from the snowmobile when using the emergency starting
procedure.
