OPERATION

Emergency Starting

If the recoil starter system fails, use the emergency start strap to start the

engine.

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

(L-wrench), follow the direc-

tions on the air box to relieve

belt tension.

4. Starting at one of the tower

struts, wind the strap counter-

clockwise around the clutch

as shown.

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.

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.
