OPERATION
Emergency Stopping And Starting
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 using a sharp, crisp pull so the strap comes free of
the clutch.
To prevent serious injury, DO NOT wind the start strap around
your hand. Keep all bystanders away from the snowmobile when
using the emergency starting procedure.
