
NOTE: In extremely cold weather, pull
the recoil handle slowly two to three
times to begin the starting procedure.
8. 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 operating
temperature. Do not idle the engine
for excessively long periods of time.
9. On the 6000, there is a “cold drive-
away” function incorporated within the
engine. This function is active until the
engine reaches operating temperature.
10. 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: If the engine fails to start dur-
ing the attempt with the throttle control
lever compressed, remove the spark
plugs and clean and dry them thor-
oughly or install a new set of properly
gapped, recommended spark plugs.
11. 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 trans-
ferred 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.
If this occurs, the brake fluid requires
a cool-down period before the brakes
will again function properly. This
cool-down period will vary depending
upon the ambient air temperature and
the temperature of the brake fluid. If
loss of brakes has occurred because of
high fluid temperatures, do not oper-
ate the snowmobile until the cool-
down period has expired and brake
lever firmness has returned.
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
It is extremely important that the engine
is properly warmed up before subject-
ing 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 periods of time.
! WARNING
Excessive, repetitive use of the
hydraulic brake for high speed stops
will cause overheating of the brake
fluid and premature brake pad wear
which will result in an unexpected
loss of brakes.
