
NOTE: In extremely cold weather, pull
the recoil handle slowly two to three
times to begin the starting procedure.

NOTE: Rotate the key to the
START position; then when the
engine starts, release the key.
8. On the 2000 models when the engine
starts, allow it to warm up for approxi-
mately 30 seconds with the choke lever
in full-choke position. After the 30-sec-
ond warm-up, move the choke lever to
the middle position. The choke lever
should be moved to the OFF position
when engine is warm. Slight throttle
control lever compression may be nec-
essary after the engine starts and during
warm-up. Idle the engine several min-
utes until the engine has reached nor-
mal operating temperature.
9. On the 5000 models, a “cold drive-
away” function is incorporated
within the engine. This function is
active until the engine reaches oper-
ating temperature.
10. Flooding — On the 2000 models if the
engine does not start when the choke is
being used but seems ready to start,
move the choke lever to the OFF posi-
tion. 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 con-
trol lever immediately. After the warm-
up, release the brake lever lock.

NOTE: Continued choking will
cause the engine to flood more.

NOTE: On the 2000 models if the
engine fails to start during the attempt
with the throttle control lever com-
pressed, remove the spark plugs and
clean and dry them thoroughly or
install a new set of properly gapped,
recommended spark plugs.
11. Flooding — On the 5000 models if
the engine does not start but seems
ready to start, engage the brake lever
lock; then compress the throttle con-
trol 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 5000 models if spark
plugs must be replaced, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arctic
Cat Snowmobile dealer for inspec-
tion and service. This service is at
the discretion and expense of the
snowmobile owner.
12. To shut off the engine, turn the igni-
tion key to the OFF position or push
the emergency stop switch to the
DOWN position.
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.
CAUTION
On the 5000 models, always turn the
ignition switch key to the OFF posi-
tion 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.
