OPERATION
Emergency Starting
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, and a battery charger is not
available, the engine can be started using jumper cables and a charged
battery from another vehicle. Carefully read and follow the instructions
on the following pages.
WARNING! Improperly connecting or disconnecting jumper cables can result in
an explosion and cause serious injury or death. When connecting jumper
cables, always connect the negative (usually black) cable last. When removing
jumper cables, always disconnect the negative (usually black) cable first.
WARNING! Loose-fitting clothing can get caught in the engine when the vehicle
is running with the hood open. This can cause serious injury or death. Remove
or control all items that could catch in the engine, including scarves, gloves,
jackets and clothing straps and hooks.
NOTICE: If a car or truck battery will be used to jump start the snowmobile, turn
the engine off. A running engine will put out too much electrical current
for the snowmobile battery. Never attempt to jump start a discharged
battery that is frozen.
