SPECIAL PROCEDURES
Flooded Engine
When the engine does not start after
several attempts, the engine may be
fuel flooded. Proceed as follows.
Turn ignition switch to ON and ensure
choke is not applied.
Ensure the transmission is on NEU-
TRAL (
4-stroke models only
).
Fully press throttle lever and hold
while starting the engine.
As soon as the engine starts, release
throttle lever. Do not race engine.
If it does not work:
Disconnect the spark plug cable.
Remove the spark plug.
Crank engine several times.
Install
new spark plug if possible or clean
and dry spark plug.
Start engine as explained above. If en-
gine continues to flood, see an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer.
Engine Overheat
If engine overheats try the following:
Reduce vehicle speed but try to keep
vehicle moving to supply air to radia-
tor. If engine is still overheating after
approximately one minute, stop vehi-
cle and set transmission to NEUTRAL
(
4-stroke models
).
Apply parking
brake and stop engine.
Let engine cool down.
See an authorized Bombardier ATV
dealer as soon as possible.
Post-Operation Care
Never use a high pressure washer
to clean these vehicles.
USE LOW
PRESSURE ONLY (like a garden
hose)
. High pressure can cause elec-
trical and mechanical damages.
When vehicle is used in salt - water
environment (beach area), rinsing the
vehicle with fresh water is necessary
to preserve vehicle and its compo-
nents.
Metallic parts lubrication is
highly recommended.
Use BOM-
BARDIER LUBE.
This must be performed at the end of
each operating day.
When vehicle is operated in muddy
conditions, rinsing the vehicle is rec-
ommended to preserve vehicle and its
components and to keep lights clean.
Turn Over
When vehicle is turned over or stays
tilted on the side, replace the vehicle
in its normal operation position (on all
four wheels) and wait 3 to 5 minutes
before starting engine. Check oil level
and refill if necessary.
ATV Immersion
Should the ATV become immersed, it
will be necessary to take it to an autho-
rized Bombardier ATV dealer as soon
as possible.
DO NOT START THE
ENGINE!
Immersion of the ATV can
cause serious damage if the correct
restart procedure is not followed.
Storage and Preseason
Preparation
WARNING
Have an authorized Bombardier
ATV dealer inspect fuel system in-
tegrity as specified in Maintenance
Chart.
When a vehicle is not in use for more
than one month, proper storage is a
necessity.
