7. On models with manual start, pull
the recoil handle slowly until resis-
tance is felt; then give a short quick
pull. Repeat until the engine starts.
NOTE: In extremely cold weather,
pull the recoil handle slowly two to
three times to begin the starting pro-
cedure.
NOTE: On electric start models,
rotate the key to the START position;
then when the engine starts, release
the key.
NOTE: When the engine starts,
allow it to warm up properly. Idle the
engine several minutes until the
engine has reached normal operat-
ing temperature. Do not idle the
engine for excessively long periods
of time.
8. On the 1100 cc models, there is a
“cold drive-away” function incorpo-
rated within the engine. This func-
tion is active until the engine reaches
operating temperature (see Cold
Drive-Away Function sub-section in
the General Information section).
9. Flooding — If the engine does not
start but seems ready to start, engage
the brake lever lock; then compress
the throttle control lever fully and try
to start the engine. When the engine
starts, release the throttle control
lever immediately. After the warm-
up, release the brake lever lock.
NOTE: On the 800 cc models if the
engine fails to start during the
attempt with the throttle control lever
compressed, remove the spark plugs
and clean and dry them thoroughly or
install a new set of properly gapped,
recommended spark plugs.
10. To shut off the engine, turn the igni-
tion key to the OFF position or push
the emergency stop switch to the
DOWN position.
Braking
The following items are items that the
operator must be familiar with when
operating this snowmobile and its
hydraulic brake system. Important addi-
tional information on the proper mainte-
nance of the brake system is found in the
Maintenance section.
1. Use the brakes wisely. Each time the
brakes are applied in all hydraulic
brake systems (including automotive
applications), heat is transferred to
the brake fluid. The amount of heat
transferred during high speed stops
and/or repetitive use may be high
enough to boil the brake fluid and
cause the brakes to either fade or may
cause an unexpected loss of brakes.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the recoil starter,
DO NOT pull the recoil rope to its limit
or release the recoil handle from an
extended position. Allow the rope to
rewind slowly.
CAUTION
Do not continuously run the starter
for more than 5 seconds at a time.
CAUTION
On the 800 cc models, it is extremely
important that the engine is properly
warmed up before subjecting the
engine to high speed operation or
heavy loads. The engine should be
allowed to idle at least 3-4 minutes
before it is operated at more than 1/2
throttle. In extremely cold conditions,
the warm-up time will be longer. Cold
seizure and piston scuffing caused
by insufficient warm-up will not be
covered by warranty. Also, do not idle
the engine for excessively long peri-
ods of time.
CAUTION
On the 1100 cc models, always turn
the ignition switch key to the OFF
position when the snowmobile is not
being used. Leaving the ignition
switch in the ON position will result in
discharging the battery and possible
damage to the battery.
