STARTING THE ENGINE
8. On models with a key ignition, turn the key to start the vehicle.
9. Do not press the throttle while starting the engine.
10. Activate the starter for a maximum of five seconds, releasing
the key or button when the vehicle starts. If engine does not
start, release the starter and wait five seconds; then activate the
starter for another five seconds. Repeat this procedure until en-
gine starts.
After the Engine Starts
1. If the engine slows or stops, use of the choke at its HALF (2)
position will allow proper engine warm up.
2. Vary the engine RPM slightly with the throttle to aid in warm up
until the engine idles smoothly. Then move the choke to OFF
(3).
Cold Weather Operation - 4 Cycle Engines
Polaris offers the following kits for cold weather operation: Oil
Tank Cover, Engine Heater and Oil Tank Heater. These kits re-
duce moisture accumulation in the oil tank when the ATV is op-
erated in freezing temperatures.
If you use your ATV all year round, it is important to check your
oil level frequently. A rising oil level could indicate the accu-
mulation of water in the bottom of the oil tank. Water in the bot-
tom of the tank can lead to engine damage and must be
drained.
Water accumulation increases as outside temperature de-
creases.
The cold weather kits not only reduce moisture accumulation,
but the heaters provide quicker warm-ups and easier starting.
See your dealer for more information on cold weather operation
and what kit will work best for your driving habits.
