Recoil Starter
A
If the battery is weak and cannot start the engine, use of the recoil
starter (A) located on the right side of the machine will allow vehicle
operation until repairs can be made.
Polaris 4-cycle engines are equipped with automatic decompressors.
This makes recoil starting possible by allowing compression to “leak”
at cranking speeds. The decompressor senses when the engine is
spinning fast enough to start and restores compression for starting.
1. Be certain your vehicle is on a level surface and the parking brake
is set . See page 74.
2. Take the machine out of gear.
3. Grasp the recoil starter tightly and pull slightly until the starter
mechanism engages.
4. Pull the rope abruptly to start the engine.
Do not extend the starter rope so far that it stops This will cause
damage to the recoil assembly.
Make sure the manual start handle is fully seated on the recoil
housing, especially when travelling in wet areas. If it is not sealed
properly, water may enter the recoil housing and damage
components.
